    Gadzooks! $2 mice?

    Grr.. I needed to feed the hatchlings today, and the baby rats i have were just born and not up to size yet. So I got stuck buying a dozen mouse hoppers at 2 dollars a pop! Grr.. luckily by the time next feeding rolls along, the rats will be up to par..
    Hatchlings grow fast!

    yep, that's about what I pay. I just spent $40 today buying feeders and breeders. 13 for feeding, 8 for breeding. Got all my tubs set up with screen tops and hopefully won't be buying feeders for much longer.

    I can spend $30 per week on feeders pretty regularly... it's just one of those things!

    There's a little mom and pop store by me that charges 5 dollars for a small feeder rat. And even more for larger ones respectively.

    Re: Gadzooks! $2 mice?

    Last time I bought live mice, I bought 200 of them and it cost me $97, plus the gas(maybe $15-$20) to go get them. I get them for 45 cents apiece for medium adults.

    For about 35 snakes(plus or minus some, since they are always coming and going), I can feed them for 3-4 weeks.

    Re: Gadzooks! $2 mice?

    Wow...I am soooo glad I breed all my feeders. It costs me about $0.45 per rat/ASF/Mouse (vs. $4 at the pet stores for small rats)
