YES!

A great place to get rats way cheaper that what your paying, over 4 bucks, is www.rodentpro.com, if im correct they are only 1.45 there, and they pack great, and are a really great place that is where i get all my feeder rodents. Of course this is assuming that you are feeding F/T.

I have found in many cases, shipping costs almost as much as the merchandise. This is the biggest reason I don't order this way. Although, the larger the order, the cheaper it becomes. When I had boas, I would order in bulk for a year. One massive bill, but I was done for the year.

I'll bet folks could help you out with information. There's one on Kingsnake; there's Fauna Classifieds; and s_snakes_s dot com (without the "_", but unfortunately they seem to block the names of other forums here.) The latter actually operates in Canada.

You don't need to spend $4.95 for a rat unless you just prefer to support local businesses! Good luck.
