Furry food

[Keira]

Okay so I'm assuming this is the best spot for this question,
I live in Illinois along the Mississippi river, does anyone know a good place to get LIVE feeder rats? (that aren't $7 a rat)
lately I have been going to an expo in wheaton IL every other week to buy feeders but driving 2.5hours one way is not really beneficial lol
And just so nobody goes on a rant,my boa started on f/t mice but rejected them on her 3rd feeding and refuses to eat anything but live feeders now, my ball pythons on the other hand started with live and may or may not accept f/t i havent tried with them yet.

Thanks for any feedback ya'll may have!!! Still in shock moving north from florida where every couple of miles i could find good feeders lol
