There is an expo somewhat near me December 7th, so would it work if I bought pet store mice until then, and then went there?

Or should I just buy pet store?

We can't answer that without knowing price of shipping/what individual mice will wind up costing vs. what your local stores charge. For one snake, I'd probably be inclined to just buy pet store mice or try to find a herp club.

Yeah, I think it might just be easier, and probably cheaper to buy pet store.

I might buy the smallest bag of hoppers, and the smallest bag of small adults. I think with the hoppers you will actually get a full range of fuzzies, too, and with the small adults you'll get a good number of weanlings. Speaking of Big Cheese. I appreciate getting a range of sizes so I can taylor the feedings to the size of the snake.

I have to say, the difficulty of buying bulk feeders for one animal makes me pretty glad I've got a reptile-keeping brother who will take surplus off my hands!

Yeah... I was really hoping that I could find one more local but it looks like I'm just going to be building a mouse rack and breeding my own. Maybe I'll breed enough that I can sell them to local people because Petco's frozens are ridiculous.

So funny, I CURSE them for the variety of sizes! I want the impossible, which is for every food item to be within 10% size of the rest. I constantly find myself weighing and lining up mice for who they will go to.

I have never thought about doing that before.

That's how I do it, too. And that's why I need the variety! I divide mice into reds, S, M, L, XL pink, Small peach fuzzy, Peach fuzzy, S,M,L Fuzzy, S,M,L Hopper, S, M, L Weanling, First Adult, M adult, L adult, XL Adult, and JUMBO adults that only Janine can eat.

And I thaw them in the same bowls, using tail cutting codes for telling the sizes apart.
