You only have 1 mom and pop pet shop in your whole area? You might have to make a drive lol. I drive about an hour to get all my gals and guy their rabbits, chickens, quails and rats. And it sucks cause I have to do it every 4 days to feed Caesar the pig lol. I too though should really suck it up and just buy a mini chest freezer and stock up online. Maybe after the holidays.
