supporting local pet shop,dont know why i bother

[moodyblue1969]

went to get some rat weaners today as my babies arnt big enough.the local pet shop had every size of mouse in the freezer,chicks,rat pups and jumbo rats. are they really so informed that they think snakes go straight from pups to jumbos when i questioned them about it i got asked if they were a newborn size,,,duh

lol yeah have had that problem

[entbiker]

my local pet shop always have every size rat or mouse i need its great

mine does that sometimes, they even charge small mice as large mice sometimes even though the previous week they were selling same size mice as smalls, gets annoying, i now get mine from 888reptiles good quality food

Frustrating, did you manage to get any? The staff at my local pet shop are lovely, and knowledgeable, but they find it difficult to supply certain sizes of frozen rodents too, for me it was the jumbos for the biggest of our snakes. I'd have loved to support our local pet shop too...

Have a similar problem, my local shop only seems to stock pups or VS rats, its crazy thats not a small jump in diameter, its about 10x bigger

ive thought about going online cos its a 50 mile round trip to get the size rats i need.hopefully now ive started breeding my own the problem will be sorted.but atm the rat babies are only 11 days old

one of mine always sells the mice/rats as a size higher than they are and are ussualy nearly defrosted, needless to say i don't use them too much.

Our local shop always seems to be out of stock of whatever I happen to need urgently!
