jw for when i have to upgrade to rats when my snake gets bigger....cuz feeder MICE r so cheap...only $1.50...i knew rats had to be a few dollars more...

[mr~python]

at my pet store mice are actually more expensive.

Well you're comparing apples to oranges really. If a small mouse is $1.50 and a small rat is around $3.00 that makes sense since that small rat is going to be a lot bigger and cost more for the pet store to feed and house (less per tank) than the small mouse. If you wanted the same prey volume of a small rat you'd have to buy more than one of those $1.50 mice.

I have a choice of many pet stores in my area, but one store is unbeatable! Mice of all sizes-$1.00 and rats of all sizes-$2.00. Yes, I know, even jumbos!
