Craigslist sucks sometimes with stupid people!!!!!!!!


so i posted to try and find a place with frozen feeders local and only comment that petsmart was too expensive on frozen feeders, I got one reply with someone saying they had some for 2.00 a mouse, ill still with petsmart first before i pay that.


Here is my original post

I am looking for frozen feeder mice, I need them individually wrapped as I only have one snake and do not want them to freezer burn before using them all. I prefer not to travel an hour just to pick them up if i can help it. I surely hope that will all the reptiles around someone sells these.

Petsmart is just too expensive on the frozens



Then there is a posting war about this hole stinking post that i posted..... about me not being able to afford my food yada yada yada

1st reply

A can of frozen feeder mice from Pets-Mart is $11 for 4 mice; small, medium, or large, doesn't matter what size. Depending on the size and type of snake this could feed him/her for 1-8 weeks. If you're looking for a "cheaper" alternative, go to Pet-Supermarket for $1.50 each and get a few lab mice, with a separate cage and fresh kill one when it's feeding time. (And if you really wanted to go cheap and you have enough space, you could even breed them =] )
As far as the pricing on frozen mice and having to drive an hour (even though Winchester isn't an hour from Lexington, especially not the Hamburg area where Pets-Mart is located)... if you can't afford to feed a pet, then don't have a pet.

And I quote "if you can't afford to feed a pet, then don't have a pet." That doesn't say, "if you can't afford a pet, don't get a pet." If you're having a rough time, SAY THAT! Don't blame the people who point these sort of things out. A lot of Craigslisters who are here frequently, not just the people who use it once or twice then move on, are very blunt people. And a lot of us call them like we see it. You say in one post that Pets-Mart is too expensive. Now you're saying you "can afford your pets." Which is it? And it doesn't matter what the whole story is. EVERYONE is on "hard times" right now one way or another on the account of the economy and such. So that's not much of an excuse. Money tight on pet food? Go donate plasma. Go to the gigs section and pick up a side job. Do what you did when you were 12 and pull out the lawn mower and see if the little old lady down the street might need some yard work done. We all have to feed our pets. And if people would use common sense, some of us wouldn't have to be so harsh.

I agree with you this person is always posting smart allic things. They shopuld get a real life instead of knocking down people.

i dont think its a matter of being a kyboard warrior. i think the person who replied has some good points a lot of people do make their pets suffer because of finances or lack of care or things like that. i mean that guy said the prices of food for his snake was too expensive. what if the snake got sick and had to go to the vet? thats a lot more than the cost of food. i dont think people consider those kinds of things. its nice to see people step up and say something about it sometimes. some stuff may not aply to this guy but still it aplies to a lot of people. maybe next time just ask around for breeders and things like that and not just that somethings too expensive and youre looking for a short cut



and my reply back! lol

Thank you very much for your input!!!!

ITS NOT A MATTER OF WHETHER I CAN AFFORD IT, I HAVE THE MONEY, IM JUST LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER AND BETTER ALTERNATIVE, I JUST THOUGHT THERE MAY BE A REPTILE STORE AROUND HERE

I JUST MOVED HERE AND DONT KNOW ALL PET STORES YET

IF I WANTED YOUR OPINION ON WHETHER MY 3000.00 DOLLAR A MONTH INCOME COULD FEED MY ANIMALS I WOULD HAVE ASKED........

I DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER TO FOOLS WHO WANT TO ASSUME PEOPLE ARE POOR WHEN ALL THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS FIND A BETTER DEAL !!!
