rodentpro may only charge $1 per small rat, but the shipping is outrageous. And, justifbly so, cooler/box/dry ice and priority overnight shipping. You end up paying more for shipping than the rodents on small orders.

Find a local source, but 20 at a time for $2-3 a piece, save money....

I get people that want me to ship pretty much everyday, until I quote a shipping rate, then they quickly change their mind...

For anything under about 5 snakes, in my opinion, it's cheaper to just buy your food, but only if you can find a breeder near you. Obviously, petco/smart's prices of $8-10 per rats is stupid, but there are plenty of small pet stores and rodent breeders all over the place..
