    Hm so I'm not sure if ordering online is a great option for me at the moment, I looked on perfectprey.com and if I were to buy enough to last me 6 months (which is how long I've heard they last in the freezer?) it would be just as expensive as the pet stores lol
    I think I'll join some facebook groups (which I was planning on doing anyway haha) and post there, and maybe post here and craigslist

    Re: Where to get frozen rodents?

    How much are they charging at the pet store? I pay about $2 for a small rat, $3 for a medium. Adult mice are only about $1.50. That's at a reptile store, not online.

    Just curious. Good luck

    OH I forgot to mention I only have big chain pet stores near me, and they charge about $2 per small mouse (only in packs of 25 for $70) and I don't think they have rats
    I think there's a reptile/exotic pet store about 2 1/2 hours away from me but I'm pretty sure they're only slightly cheaper than the chain stores

    I'll second perfect prey, they are amazing. Good quality and great customer service
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

    That's what I've heard but I'm just not sure it's worth it for one snake, as I said before, I checked their website and ordering from them would be nearly as expensive as the chain stores :/

    I know they are waaaay too small but I've been feeding him 4-5 pinkie mice at a time (it was all they had left at the show)

    Most young BPs can take hoppers or small adult mice easily.

    As for finding local sources of rodents, ask around all the vet clinics, especially if any take care of "exotics" or reptiles...many times vet techs (or even vets)
    keep snakes & other exotics too. If there is a zoo near you, ask them as well.

    Re: Where to get frozen rodents?

    Do you have a picture of your BP and how old is it?
