Unless you have multiple snakes or have a big enough freezer I haven't seen a price advantage to getting feeders online. I buy a 3 pack of frozen small rats at Petco for $12 (I don't have a second freezer yet and the wife is barely comfortable with me storing 3 rats in our food freezer LOL)
I have two snakes now, working on a 3rd purchase and plan on being up to 4 by years end. The pet store prices are ridiculous. I refuse to buy anything from Petco as they left their animals in the store years ago even tho there was a flood warning and over 100 animals died. In any case that 3 for $12 isnt awful but i want to say the price i saw at my petsmart was higher than that. Ill have to check again. I think with 4 snakes id be able to have a rat breeding program without too much left over. Can always sell the excess. Perhaps ill just try the transition with some purchased from petsmart. Are yours the arctic mouse brand? Oh and along with Rikoku thank you for paying attention to my question and answering what i asked LOL
