my picky blood finally has taken to live mice instead of live rat pups , before now i had to drive about a 100 miles every two weeks to get a live rat pup, so now he can eat every 6 days with the rest of my snakes....woohooo i know rats are preferred but i cant buy small enough rats even close to where i live at.. sooo wooohooo

Been there done, that with the long rides to get appropriate size rodents...
But do you think you'd be better off in the long run, getting your animal to eat F/T? Then the right size animal is only a few steps away in your freezer.
Best of luck either way.

I buy about 3-4 months worth of f/t rats,guineas,and mice. gf doesnt like whats in the freezer, but in the end the money saved by doing it that way is way worth it.
