100% agree with Ziggy. The eat or starve approach has gotten me through several issues with my picky hognose snakes. As far as ordering feeders online, I've seen local pet stores both small and the larger ones charge anywhere between $4-$6 USD for a small rat, so even with a single snake overtime paying that $30 shipping fee is going to save you some money. Unless you luck out like I did and find a local rat breeder that will sell them to you stupid cheap it's going to be cheaper in the long run to order them online.
