Rediculous prices! im gonna start breeding!

Apparently.... according to my local feeder supplier, the local council are cracking down on breeding rodents for food!
I usually pay 35-45p depending where i go. They say the price of a frozen fuzzy/furry could go up to as much as £1.30 EACH thats $3ca!.
Well, i nearly peed my pants when i heard!!
They've had to start "rationing" them out, you are only aloud to buy 4 per customer.
Well at least its an excuse to have more rats!!

Whats the highest price you've found?

Yick! Those are some insane prices you're facing out there! With the size of my collection, I really have no other option than to breed my own. I'm saving bundles though, even if I was able to get feeders for insanely cheap prices, it still wouldn't come close to what I save. 200~ rats, ~20 mice... $60 CDN to maintain them all
