A waste yes, but still cheaper. I was lucky enough, though, that I was able to pick up feeder packs at a show every so often. The local prices here range from the smaller rats being about $3 each to the larger being anywhere from $10-$15 each.
In previous times, I've posted to see if anyone living close enough to me were willing to go in with me on a purchase, to share shipping cost, but never had a bite.
after looking at the prices and shipping cost, CBC is still better price for shipping cost, plus they have an I.G page and not afraid to show how they produce & house & feed there rats/mice looks clean all around. I will never have your problem lol, my local pet store, the owner i sell the geckos to , She buys EVERYTHING OFF YOU, from left over feeders to use tanks to use hides, water dishes, you name it. over all its good cause then im never stuck with nothing. i can sell or trade for store credit my choice..
Now how do i tell if a mouse is frozen burn from my freezer? cause i never even seen a frozen burn rat or anything... i would hate to buy a 25pk and my freezer [messes] it up....

As an example I order feeder piglets for my larger snakes but the seller is in California. Even though the pigs are frozen, wrapped, and shipped in a well-insulated box with dry ice, since they take 5-6 days to arrive the pigs would likely thaw by the time the land on my doorstep if I placed an order today. So, I try to place a huge order in April and then I don't have to order again until October.
:O i wanna see you feed this snake a lil pig ...
I live on west cost, PNW rodent pro seems to be the cheapest all around, But i am going to go with CBC i need to get a 25pk of rat pups.....
