I just recently started keeping records and stats on what the hobby is costing me, I'm now in position to produce about 215 feeders a month about double my needs at the moment, I do expect my collection to grow again this year, breeding this much is going to run me about $20 to 40 dollars a month. About 30% of my production will be soft furs(ASF) so this helps big time with cleaning and smell cause they need alot less attention.
Breeding your own feeders is great you always know you are feeding a very healthy and well nourished prey item. I feed my colonys mazuri 6f plus carrots and veggies once in a while. I have a real good hook up in town with outstanding prices but I still rather breed my own. I work lots of hrs I don't like to have a set feeding day or pick up day.
