I just picked up some rats from nerd last week too ill have to check mine! I wouldnt throw them away. I think they are over priced but its nice to get them right away. I was kind of mad charging me $100 for 100 pinkies, i didnt want to make a fuss but i could of got them from RodentPro.com for allot cheaper almost half the price and 1/3 more...
