Well, I am pretty impressed that you are doing this much research. Most ppl buy on impulse, and check it out later.

Eww, I don't have the time to raise rodents, so I buy mine. I used to buy them from the mom n pop petstore locally - they kept them frozen. Usually these pet stores have to feed their own reptiles, and keep a supply on hand. Most pet stores will sell you frozen pinkies and fuzzies.

You won't be needing them for probably about the first year anyway. The beginning diet consists of crickets, butterworms, silk worms, meal worms, super worms, night crawlers. Crickets are such a pain, but a good staple. I am horrible at keeping the darn things alive, so I only buy a weeks worth at a time, if that.

You will also need to purchase a calcium dusting powder, as well as a vitamin one, And water purifier drops.

Where do you live? I currently have 3 week old babies, but don't want to ship.
