What do you go through in a week?

[Drew S]

Hey, I just thought it would be interesting to see what, and how many feeders people go through in a week. I would have posted it in the feeder forum, but thought it would get more responses here :)

I'll get it started:

4 small rats
8 - 10 mice (various sizes)
1000 Crickets
1000 Mealworms
50 Silkworms
And lots of veggies

Costs me about $75 per week.

How about you guys?

[SaIiLdVaEnR]

WOW, lol I'm at about $5.00 on crickets. All I have are invertebrates. Once in a while I will get mealworms, superworms and mice.

[Pirranha]

a 500 box of crickets in about a week-week and a half.
and a small rat or 2

[Pontus]

1 large rat 1 med rat

[jwsporty]

Average?

8 pinkies
12-16 fuzzies or hoppers
5-6 adult mice
8-12 small-medium rats

maybe more on a good week!!

I just keep thawing until everybody is fed.

Do I have to include the feeding of the roommates and wife...;) ?

I also use a week...
300 crickets
2 tubs of wax worms
1 tub of meal worms

I'm just glad i breed my own mice, otherwise i might have to sell the kids :-)

[jadegrasse]

It depends on the time of the year and number of snakes left before they are sold but about 1600 rodents a month in the late summer after hatching time and about 500-600 mid winter.

Most are pinkie mice and rats. Last fall we were feeding 200 hatcling snakes a pinkie every 3-4 days. This year there should be more. Thank god for deep freezers. I don't know what I would do if did not have rodent racks.

Until we cut our reptile collection back (before our rodent company took up so much time), we would go through the following each week:

40-50 pinkies
30-40 fuzzies
150 adult mice
30 small rats
40 medium rats
30 lg/xlg rats
1 box of crickets
500 mealworms
lots of hissing roaches

and monthly we would go through 4 chickens or rabbits

[justinO]

IF (big if) everyone is feeding:

1-2 jumbo rat
2 large rats
2 medium rats
3 small rats
3 rat pinkies
2 live large mice
2 live small mice
and a few meallies or crickets

usually would cost about $40/week but we started breeding/raising up our own rats so it's just cost us rat food recently...... and we still buy jumbo's for $5 each untill the burm goes on rabbits!

15 frozen burritos
4 frozen pizzas

2 dozen eggs
