There is a local rodent breeder here whom I had the displeasure of running into numerous times online and every single time I have to bite my tongue because he pisses me off to no end and I can't wait to run him out of business! I need to bite my tongue and also not grow too quickly or I'll wind up in a bad place. But eventually ;-)

Gah I just want to rip his head off when every single time I email a rodent or rodent supply ad, and it's him. lmao

I've never met someone who is so rude and unprofessional.

We were both going to work with the same supplier for food. I talked to the supplier and got a quote of $13.50 per bag for rat food. I was going to drive there and get it myself but he said to see if the other person, who is getting it this weekend would toss some bags on his trailer for me. He gave me his number and name and I contacted him.

When I contacted him it was this guy. I asked him about throwing some bags on his trailer for me and he said he would have to charge me $20.00 per bag or $18 if I bought bulk... And then, he told me, when I emailed a food ad of his, that he is selling it for 5.00 per lb and I couldn't get anything else but that from him. LMAO... That's 250.00 per bag!

I was like... WHATTTTT I figured I'd throw you a few dollars, pay the supplier directly, and you'd make a few extra bucks on the food, not rape me on the price when I know how much it cost!

I can go there myself, load up my trailer and not pay anywhere near $18.00 a bag! He said he's trying to become a local distributor. The distributor did not seem happy when I called him and told him that he couldn't have the extra business right now because this other guy was being a jerk. lol

Then he has the nerve to ask ME for my sources for cheap rodents when he won't even sell me a few extra rats when he's overstocked for less than 1.75 for a weaned-small.

I tell ya though. He's not going to be a happy camper when he loses all his feeder and food customers to me. I'm willing to work a little extra hard to run out the competition. I don't think I even need that good of prices when his customer service skills are non existent. I pride myself on customer service skills. Plus, I'm not selfish or greedy.

Arg Sorry for the rant. I just hate arrogant pompous men!


Anyhow, I came up with a cool rack design to go with the lab tubs that I have. I'll post pics when it's done. Hopefully this weekend!
