Where to buy feeders in San Diego

[Frank H]

Hi, I am looking for a mouse breeder near by. I planned to buy from the local pet store but I keep reading bad things about that route.

Do you guys buy bulk frozen pinkies? Where can I find a vendor? I only have 3 baby corns. Let me know my best option and Ill owe you bigtime!

Do you get frozen at LLL Reptile???

Looks like its $40 for 50 pinkies frozen to your door at LLL. Good deal?

 

[Jenstar]

That's a lot cheaper than buying live... I really don't think your gonna get cheaper unless you buy in larger quanities... The shipping at Big Cheese Rodent Factory ends up being about $30 by itself, so unless you buy a lot of mice it's probably not worth it...

I too buy frozen from LLL... I stop by to or from work..
Cheaper than many.. and close enough to pick up and
save shipping..

 

[Frank H]

DaGiant, how much do you save by picking them up?

Hi Frank,

I am in Chula Vista, too.... I also get mine from LLL and just got mine delivered last week and they were absolutely wonderful. Good Price. Too far for me to drive so the small shipping and handling fee was fine. I have two corn and my son has three so we ordered 100 and split the cost. Great delivery, packed beautifully and the snakes are all happy.

Welcome to you, from another Chula Vistan. I love your frogs too, they are absolutely beautiful and your son is adorable.

Much cheaper to pick them up there. No shipping charges. We usually go once every month and a half to 2 months. Fuzzies are $7.00 per bag of 10, Small $8.00 per 10 and large are $13 per 10, all frozen.

Thanks for the reply Ruderacer. I went ahead and ordered online. Its only 80 cents each for 50 pinkies shipping included. I figured with gas prices, its cheaper to have them mailed to me.

I received my package with 50 frozen pinkies the other day. What a great deal! I was wondering how they would ship them and keep them frozen. They used dry ice. The pinkies were still frozen solid. The dry ice was soo cold! I dropped little pieces of it in water and watched it bubble and smoke. And all 3 of my new snakes ate without delay.
