If memory serves me petsmart does not sell feeders and surely not frozen feeders. If you buy a rat from them it will be live and I believe you have to adopt it as a pet and fill out paperwork. At least that was my experience many moons ago.

The Petsmart where I live do sell frozen feeders. But, the largest they go to are small rats. And they're about $17 a pop.

So check this out:

A supposed 14 foot 120lb,Eastern diamond back, found in a bush in AZ. The knife is six inches across. The fangs 3 inches long. It estimated an accurate strike range of 4 to 5 feet.
That's either a good hoax or a freaky f-ing snake!!!

And, yeah that photo/story is hilariously fake.

Holy canoli! At least at mine it's $12 for a box of two small rats, though their definition of "small" is more like "weanling".

I did find a local guy who breeds rats, mice, and ASF's as feeders, both live or he'll do F/T for you. Rats and ASF's are $1 each for small live ones, or $10 for a bag of 10 F/T.

Didnt realize people still said holy canoli lol My prices at petco are as bcr stated as well. We also have jumbos though here.

I almost bought a pair of rats to make my own babies this week and leave the setup in my dads garage or whatever, but I really need mice not rats :-/
