Get use to it I am afraid, Frozen food prices are going to go sky high I have been told. I see £1.50 for a med/lge mouse soon. And the reason ? No Lab stuff and all the cheap eastern europe stuff is going to the states.

A bearded Dragon costs its owner about £1.50-£2.00 to feed per week and a corn snake owner will soon have to cough up the same.

I am not trying to scare people but I have my contacts in the trade and this is what they are telling me.

You will soon I think it is going to happen. UK breeders like my mate are getting fed up with earning a 4 figure sum. With our eastern chums sending to the USA things will change.
