I've never had a problem buying live feeders at Petco. i've even had employees say "what are you feeding these to?" and I answer honestly...and they typically say "oh ok"

Anyway...I stopped going to petco after they raised prices to about 2.29/mouse..yes mouse.

I had one guy down here I was getting small rats for $1 each. He lives too far away for me to go every week, so I stopped going...maybe i'll get things situated one of these days
