 Reputable website to get mice

I am looking for someplace online to get frozen mice mailed to me. I work at Petsmart and even with my discount it gets expensive. I need to find a reputable place to get them in bulk to keep the cost down.... anyone???

I breed rats for my corn but I did order 100 pinkies from rodentpro.com and I would recommend them. All the pinkies were individually frozen before put into a big bag as to prevent them freezing in one solid clump. They all looked fat and really healthy (apart from being dead, haha). The prices were pretty good too. :)

I wish I could breed my own food, but I love those stupid little rodents and I now I’d just fall in love with them before I could feed or freeze them! haha
To me buying frozen mice for my snakes is like buying frozen chicken for myself.
Thanks for the website addy, just checked them out, the prices are very good.

I love mine too! Haha. My corn is just a baby so she doesn’t need anything fuzzies yet... she just eats pinkies for now--which I’m fine with killing. At that point... they’re kinda ugly anyway! lol But the adults are my pets. Can’t really help it. :P

I’m fine with breeding for food because the snake has to eat too.... That’s the way I look at it and in the long run it’s a lot cheaper too. *shrugs*

Im very thankfull my boas eat frozen thawed. I dont know what they would do if they saw a live rat- as they have never eaten anything live in their entire lives!
I have raised mice too...and yeah...The nippy ones arent so hard to feed cause I dont want that trait in my mice...but then I have to Euthanize them ( I made a homemade CO2 Chamber from a plastic bag a straw and a Gladware container and hot glue) and thats always hard.

Yep I used to buy from rodent pro ...then I started my own colonies with help from people on these forums ...a guy named Great ballz of Fire uses 52-58 qt tubs and really does a good job providing a happy enviornment for them as well as a lot of food for his snakes... with so many babies you have to feed some and freeze as well just to keep the population in check.
I had to conserve space and use a rack system...they are cute ...!

It can be fun ...inexpensive and rewarding...

This site is great. Shipping is steep, but normal for a frozen item... Dr’s Foster & Smith - Frozen Mice/Rats
