i get my rodents from local shows. there people will sell then in 25 count bags and such. it usually cost more per rodent, but with no shipping (just bring a cooler with ice) its even cheaper. i just picked up 50 pinkies, 50 fuzzies, 25 adult mice, and 3 small rats(a little trial freebe), and i only have 6 snakes. it saves me some money, and i have the freezer room.
