Well, here's my situation..

Right now I've got a total of 4 BP's, 1 eats ONLY live adult mice (2 per week), 2 will eat anything I give them, live or dead, and the 4th is too new to tell, but for sure will eat live fuzzy mice (he ate 2 last night as soon as I got him home.) Feeders around here are not cheap. I figure, if I went with mice only, I'd need 5-7 adults per week. At $2 each at the pet store, that's $10-14. If I drive to my local herp shop, which is 20 miles away, it's $1.50 each plus gas, which might as well be $2 each total. That's not even considering the price difference if I wanted to get rats for the ones who will eat them.

So, at a minimum of $10-14 per week, would it be economically feasible to just breed my mice, feed live to the ones that require it, and freeze the rest? I'm not sure what the cost of food and supplies is for mice, but it seems to me it's probably less than $40-60/mo...
