    Ordering Live

    Does anyone order live mice online, i need either large mice or small rats because the pet store just cost to much to have to buy large mice, and i only have one snake as of right now and i dont think it would be smart to breed

    Live rodents shipping can be done however it has to be done from Airport to Airport using special crates, which will cost you around $100 for shipping alone.

    With only one, or even only three snakes it's better to try switching to frozen/thawed. Easier to find, cheap, buying in bulk saves money on shipping and they don't go bad for months, easy on the owner. The hardest part is getting them to recognize FT as food.

    The only other way you could get live other than at a store would be to try and find someone in the same city breeding their own rodents you could make a deal with.

    Not only the shipping, but each shipped live animal has to have a vet health certificate. I checked into it to ship ASFs and it was just ridiculous.
