selling feeder rats
so i called my local stupid pet store the other day to see if they needed some rats. i told her they were about the size of smalls and she said to bring 4 by. she gave me 2$ a piece for all 4 of the smalls and the price goes up with the size of the rat. then i found out they get frozen in stock also. now i can raise my baby rats, sell them to my pet store in town and use the money to buy f/t.
no more killing things 
i'm happy about that, i hate having to kill the rats i watched grow up.

Re: selling feeder rats
Sounds like you are getting ripped off though.

Re: selling feeder rats
I can understand not wanting to kill off the rats you keep and raise, I totally understand that. However why not just directly trade for already f/t rats? Not sure how other people are calling it a rip off. Guess the fact of selling rats to get rats?

Re: selling feeder rats
Honestly c02 chamber. It's humane, quick and efficient also pretty easy to make.
It could be the way he worded the statement. He may just be trading Rat for Rat which makes sense, but why would he mention selling for 2 dollars confused....

Doesn't lessen the hurt when you drop them in or whatever. Especially the ones that are really gentle and sweet.

Unless thats what hes paying for F/T hes getting ripped off because 4 for 2$ is CHEAP, I pay 2.50 for a rat that size F/T. If hes selling them 50C each and buying them back for 2.50(what I pay) hes getting ripped off, but if he strikes a deal where hes only losing a little money or breaking even, go for it.

It has allot to do with the amount of Co2 in the chamer, if you put them in with just air and slowly let the Co2 pour in its much less of a shock, they dont even run around, they silently lay down in a few seconds and die.

I never got attached when I bred rodents. But I can understand your feeling for them.

Guess that is true...if the store freezes their own rats then I am sure they could get them for just a little bit more than buying something prepackaged and shipped to the store.

Re: selling feeder rats
i clearly wrote that wrong. the frozen one's are pretty much going to be the same price as the live one's for me.
im basically just trading live for frozen.
and stephen you need to read lol, i said 2$ a piece for the 4 rats. that is 8$

Re: selling feeder rats
On a side note, I had a friend try and teach me how to kill rodents a few weeks ago... He took a shoe, TURNED HIS HEAD AWAY and slammed the heel down on the things head, missing twice...
At least you aren't one of those:P
