What do you go through in a week?

Hey, I just thought it would be interesting to see what, and how many feeders people go through in a week. I would have posted it in the feeder forum, but thought it would get more responses here

I'll get it started:

4 small rats
8 - 10 mice (various sizes)
1000 Crickets
1000 Mealworms
50 Silkworms
And lots of veggies

Costs me about $75 per week.

How about you guys?

WOW, lol I'm at about $5.00 on crickets. All I have are invertebrates. Once in a while I will get mealworms, superworms and mice.

Average?

8 pinkies
12-16 fuzzies or hoppers
5-6 adult mice
8-12 small-medium rats

maybe more on a good week!!

I just keep thawing until everybody is fed.

Do I have to include the feeding of the roommates and wife... ?
