Do petsmart offer live mice feeds?

That is just stupid...smh

Ech, it's their policy. *shrugs* I've never even bought a rodent from the PetSMART I work at, but since they know I keep snakes I've been told they'll never sell to me. Whatever, I wouldn't feed their rodents to my snakes anyways, I like my snakes to have more wholesome food.

awesome.. for some reason i'm searching sfbay.craigslist.org for breeders i cant seem to find any.. maybe i'm using the wrong keyword.

i'll prolly just go to petco. i like that place though, its cheaper than petsmart

i never fed live. is it possible for a small adult mouse can jump out of 36qt sterilite container during feeding?

I go to PetCo as well. They are $3 for a full blown mouse. They also dont care if its snake food, as long as you are on th DL about it, just so other customers dont hear basically. It was funny because last time a new girl was working. She got adoption papers and was starting to ask our names and stuff to fill this adoption paper out. My son (7 years old) blurts out "its just snake food!" LOL The girl left and came back and was like, OK we dont need to fill out the adoption paper. She was a little

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

I will never enter a Petsmart again and here is why...

I went to Petsmart for the first time a few years ago. I looked around for a bit, then asked an employee where the feeder mice where. He stared at me for a second...like I called his mother a bad name, and in the rudest tone ever responded "We don't sell FEEDER mice HERE!" and stormed away.

First and last time I'll ever step foot in their store.

That is crazy! I asked the same thing at my Pet Smart, they just pointed me to a freezer full of feeder mice and rats. The lady actually seemed quite fond of snakes.

I wouldn't of returned either if I was treated like that though.

I have noticed they don't carry live feeders. I was going to pick up some for a breeding project and all they had were gerbils and hamsters. I ended up getting them from Petco across the street.

The tub shouldn't be open during feeding, so that won't be possible! I feed live to all of my BPs, and you just open the tub a crack to throw in the mouse - then close it before they have a chance to escape. I have had a few LEAP out of the tub before, and had to send my dog after them... he's a herding dog, so I can trust him to corral the rodent without killing it.

thanks so much, Lolo!!

The Petsmart here only sells frozen mice. I asked about live and was told that it wasn't "humane". But that was fine with me because my BP takes the frozen at every feeding. Hopefully, she never decides she wants live or I may have trouble finding them.
