Well, just so you have an idea of what I'm paying, have paid before, and expect to pay...
A used to purchase rats from a local back yard rodent breeder... and I don't mean that in negative terms....he just had a shed in his back yard that he bred rodents in, and they were great quality rodents!!
Each week I went to his house and paid $1.00 for a small rat. A small rat is twice the size of a large mouse. I moved away...too far for me to go to this guy any more...and I also found out he's giving up the breeding biz. So i'm stuck with petco.
As you can see, I pay over twice as much for half as much....
I have gone to Petland...and there's a place around here called Pet Bazaar that I go to that sells mice for $1.29...that's fine and dandy...I can deal with that...but still, it's almost half the price of Petco.
I think the reptile market is picking up in size, and Petco realizes this and is cashing in pretty big.
Can you sense my irritation?
