need help, new in orlando

[sw204me]

So I now live in orlando. I have done a search and found a few petco's and a whole bunch of petsmart's which I'll be hitting up tomorrow as I need more aspen bedding, but I am having a heck of a time finding a place that sells live mice, anyone in the area have any suggestions on where to go to get good clean mice in the orlando area?

Btw, for a 2 day trip my snakes did an excellent job for being in pillow cases for the whole trip.

Yay! I'm glad that you made it to Orlando ok! I'm sure that you'll have a blast down there. but since I have nothing else worthwhile to post, I think I'll leave now =P

Welcome to Orlando! I'm glad the trip went well.

Pet Bazzar on 436 carries reptiles, reptile supplies and live feeders. They usually stock up on Fridays because there is a rush every weekend.

Also, the Petlands around the area usually sell live rodents - you just have to ask because they keep them in the back. The Petsmarts and Petcos do not sell live but they may carry frozen - it's up to the store.

PM me if you have any other questions. Good luck!

Name some major intersections close by you and i'll help out as best I can.

I buy mice from Petland. They're expensive and i hate buying live...but i'm not in a position to breed my own rodents right now. I've got a small freezer full of frozen rats and mice, but some of mine refuse to eat f/t at the moment..so until they're converted, i have to run to Petland.

When Petland runs out of mice (Friday's are usually the best days to go), then I have to go to Petco down the road, which is even MORE expensive....

Alice, I guess the Petco near you is exactly the opposite from mine...they sell live mice and have a terrible frozen selection.

Good to hear the trip went well! ^_^ Seeing as I'm not even remotly close to Orlando, I can't offer any advice about mice and whatnot, but anyways, have fun down there! ^_^

Thanks for all the help! Especially from Kasi and Shannon...

Alice, where about on 436 is that Pet place?

Any of you Orlando peeps near the area on that map? Would be cool to meet some other board members.

[Nate]

you're actually very close to Pet Bazaar.

Okay I am from orlando and I visit my family every few weekends I may need a locals help here but....
On 436 between 17-92 and I-4 if you traveling towards I-4 there is a pet store on the right hand side. They have reptiles and feeders in there. I am sorry but I dont know the name of the store maybe Alice or Nate can help on this one. Also my brother gets his from a Rat farm out in Apopka. If you go to the Central FL Herp Society meeting there is a guy named Harold there and he owns the Rat farm. He also sells bags of the Harland Tenkad shredded aspen pretty cheap. I get my aspen from him in between shows.

I am about to leave to visit my mom in O-town and I will get the name of that pet store for you.

Hope that helps.
