Rat Feeder Breeders

[PiiNKvenom]

I've been looking for a breeder which sells live rat pups in Mississauga, but so far I've had no luck.. Any ideas?

[infernalis]

Any particular reason you would not care to buy frozen feeders?

We have a very large member base in Canada, so I'm sure one of those members would be happy to help out.

Personally I prefer to feed F/T rodents.

[PiiNKvenom]

I do feed my snake f/t but the previous owner fed p/k every once in a while and I wanted to keep the routine the same =\

Well doesn't portCredit Pets sell them where you live?
I'm asking people around here if it's a good store or do they give people the run around all the time?:elvis:

I would prefer going to a breeder just because when you go to the pet stores they don't tell you where the rats came from and how they were treated before hand. I have a friend that works at a pet store which sells F/T and all the employees there just tell you that they are frozen when they have them delivered. They don't sell live rodents there but even if they did I probably wouldn't buy them.

I also wouldn't mind a few recommendations to reputable breeders that sell F/T as well as live though

Here in the USA we are very lucky to have Rodent Pro...

I get 500 frozen rodents delivered to my house for around $100

Yeah I've heard they were really good but sadly they don't ship to Canada :(

Another option would be to get a pair of adult rats... They breed like crazy.

[PiiNKvenom]

Yeah, in my opinion it's not worth it for one BP, and my mom would probably freak lol
BTW that's a lot of frozen rodents lol

Yup and these are the problems i'm talking about with proper care when looking for food or equipment in Canada.
I was hot headed tonight i tell you when i got a hold of PortCreditPets.
All i get is trouble within the reptile trade.
They make it so hard for us reptile keepers i tell you.
You can't even buy reptiles anymore because they ether don't know what your talking about.
Or they lie to you because all they think about is the dollar.
And its a shame that a person like me has all the money in the world but it's too hard to get a strait answer to even buy a reptile.
Now i got to buy a pack of smokes because i'm depressed.

500 for $100 OMG i wish i dont know of any places to buy rats, their is 2 places around here i know of its a pet store,same owner that breed there own and i have to pay $6 dollars each....and mice are like$3 and less than half the size no matter what size they give you its brutally expensive to feed my snakes.im going to search the internet and try to find some that ship and ill post if i get any luck for you all as well.

good news i just found a place down the street from me that sell PF mice and rats at a 1/4 of the price i have been forced to pay thus far. they ship but i think its done by them not mailed but this is the website Home (http://www.annies-rodents.com/) im not 100% on mailing you would need to ask them.

[fflamingmoe]

Well that's good news for me as well thanks.:crazy:

[Freebody]

oh sweet im happy its helped you.
im stoked as well i emailed them already and place an order, going to much lighter on my pocket now. should be a crime how much i had to pay before today.

[fflamingmoe]

I wonder how much it would cost for shipping lets say 12 rats to North Bay,Ontario hmmmm.:crazy:

[Da Beast]

i got to pay 1.45 for each pinky (thats with the store discount)

[Lankyrob]

We pay about 45pence for mice pinkys - 60p for rat pups - fluffy mice are 90p and large mice are 3 for £4.50

Freebody -- Thanks for the kind comments! :) Glad to hear you are happy with your order!

I don't ship outside of BC... primarily due to thawing issues. There are lots of great feeder breeders in Ontario which should be able to help you out with either live or frozen. Just as a heads up, if you are already feeding pre-killed, you shouldn't have any problems switching over to FT. :)
