Why is it so hard to find feeder mice?

[Raptor]

I feed mine f/t but at petco they have plenty of mice/rats but I'm not sure how healthy it is for the snakes to eat...and if your snake is fully grown you could always buy in bulk which would make it cheaper in the long run.

Don't have a petco here. Have petsmart and Southern Agriculture. At Petsmart, for four medium frozen mice it's $10. Not sure how much frozen are at Southern Ag, but live feeders are $1.25.

Any local reptile clubs? The one I used to belong to went together and bought frozen feeders. The shipping price became very reasonable with 20-odd people going in together. It takes a lot of rats and mice to fill a box.

I don't think so.

I want to go to the upcoming reptile show to get some feeders, but since money has been tight, I haven't gotten any extra spending money. So, I doubt I'll get to go (entrance fee alone is $5). Plus I'm not about to drive into the city to a place I've only been once by myself. Wondering if I should attempt to convince my semi-friend to take me.
