Pet store mice okay?
I'm a teacher and have a 1 year old cornsnake in my classroom. I purchased her at a very reputable vivarium that's an hour away. When I went to pick her up I bought 3 months worth of frozen pinkies as well and i'm down to my last few.
We have lots of pet stores 5-10 minutes from us and I'd much rather go to one of them to get more feeders than an hour away. I know not to buy snakes from PetSmart, Pet Co etc, but is it okay to buy the frozen feeders from them? Thanks! |
I have 3 snakes and have, on many occasions, bought and fed Arctic Mice from Petsmart without any issues. I actually had a hatchling that preferred the Arctic Mice over the pinkies I bought from RodentPro. ;}

Expensive compared to buying bulk, yeah. It will still be under 2$ per mouse.

I would just seek out local shows its so much cheaper. Also a pinky is way too small a meal for a yearling- most should be on fuzzies or hoppers by then to grow properly- I imgine she's still small due to her diet so get some fuzzies and then move up to hoppers:)

How is >$2 a week very pricey? She only has one snake to feed :) |

And honestly, I can't help but feel a little bit outraged at the fact that these places produce these animals for so little and then deliberately ring you dry over them. Sorry, I won't be a part of that. :nope: |

Even ordering bulk online, even with having to pay shipping charges, I can get a better price than the petstores. The only problem with that is you have to buy so many at a time...and sometimes I just don't have a good chunk of cash lying around. |
I give my hatchling Arctic Mice from PetSmart and he's been fine so far. No problems at all.
