Surplus questions

[Royal_Rodents]

Lets say that i have a surplus in rats or mice after which i'm done feeding my snakes.. would it be easy to get rid of the surplus animals in which i'm meaning sales or just giving them away?

Where do you Live? I would take them, and I'm sure if you are giving them away or have good prices you shouldn't have any trouble moving them, as long as you live near some snake owners.

keep them for next week.

[Royal_Rodents]

ok,
as of now i'm not breeding them also i was just trying to see if anyone would take them. I am in the process of getting breeders also i would look at selling them for .50 cents a mouse is that resonable?

[Allie]

That's cheap IMO. I pay $1.50 per mouse from my mousie breeder. Well worth the price for me.

[PythonWallace]

I think that is resonable or maybe a little low. I get mice 3/$1.00 and small rats for $1.25. That's pretty cheap. If you're in an area where there is a demand and not much supply you can go higher. If you are having problems getting rid of them you'd probably stay at $0.50.

wow i didn't think the frozen rats or mice go for 3 for 1.25 wow....
i think .50-.60 cents per mouse would be reasonable

You can get rid of your surplus through snake owning friends, through your local herp club if you have one, even through donation to a herp or raptor rescue organization. You can also euthanize and freeze them if your snakes will take f/t prey. You can also plan your breedings as best you can so you don't end up with too much surplus all the time if it's a problem getting rid of them.

I keep some of my snakes on F/T so any surplus is euthanized and froze.
