    I'm starting my own breeding group of rats so its going to change soon I hope. As of right now I spend about $40-45 a week. If the store I go to ever closes I'll have to spend over $100 a week.

    Purchasing live is more expensive than purchasing a big lot of f/t.

    I recently found two suppliers, one bedding, one food. My bedding is $4.50 a bag, and I'm just passed below half full on one bag. (which has been easily a month). I buy 50 lb bag of food for $34, and that too is just passed below half full. So, a weekly guess....$3-4 a week, if that. I was buying those 3.3 lb rat/mouse food at an average of $8-12 a bag, which lasted 4-5 days.

    I'm trying to breed my own mice because all our bps take live.

    The store in town is cheaper, but are retarded and usually dont order a lot of mice. So if I go in a few days after their shipment, there probably won't be any and I'll have to drive a half hour to the city.

    In town, $16
    In the city, it's about $25

    Per week.

    Re: How much do you spend on food?

    I order rats every 6 months or so, and my orders usually end up being about $90... Meaning I spend about $4 per week.
