Buying live food at Petco

[Nik]

Hey,

I am in the process of researching ball pythons so that I can have one as a pet, and I am planning on buying mice from the Petco in Spokane Washington, but on the snake tanks they say that they reccomend F/T mice. I am planning on buying my snake from a breeder, but I was wondering if they are even going to sell me live feeder mice or if they will refuse. If anyone here is from Spokane and feeds live from Petco, please post

Thanks

they will sell you live mice, or f/t its your choice some snakes refuse ft i feed live and f/t it depends whiuch one of my snakes that im feeding

For only having one snake live is a good way to go, when you have many snakes it is a lot more economical to go with frozen...
But like the above post says I have an adult female who refuses frozen or prekilled food.

I have some that don't do the f/t thang...so every Sunday I make my trek to Petco and spend an unnecessary wad of cash on over priced mice. Some of the employees will ask me, "what are you feeding these to?" and it's usually just a curious question...they've never refused to sell me anything. Petsmart, i've heard will refuse to sell you feeders. If you're worried they will refuse the sale, just keep your mouth shut, they don't need to know your biz

I was going to buy a mouse from petsmart one day and they were going to make me fill out a pet adoption form!!!

Petco will definetly sell you live mice. the first time i went to buy a live mice the lady asked me what kind of snake i had, it's like they know mice are food too. i thought it was funny. i switched to f/t/ sucessfully and i buy a month worth of food definetly a lot cheaper

I work at petsmart And yeah, they don't sell live feeder mice. Petco does (for an exorbitant fee of course) but I get my live feeders from a local family-owned pet shop near my house. It's cheaper, i'm supporting the little guy, and I get to play with their cool snakes

ive got a 2y/o male normal, and i just picked up a one month female normal, and they both eat live. but the local fish store ( funny, right ? ) Sells feeders, and we only pay about 3.75 ffor medium rats

I bought three feeders from Petco today. My cinny won't eat anything else and the baby burm is in the same boat. Can't wait to switch them over if I can.
