Best source for frozen mice- sickles. Best prices, superb quality, nicely packaged, free shipping... cant get any better.

Hes not really into websites and whatnot, but heres his contact info. Im sure if you ask real nice-like, he might be able to help you out.

I think my last order was approx 800 mice total, a mix of fuzzies and adults for roughly $150. shipped. Pretty unbelievable, huh? I will not buy my mice ANYwhere else.

thats an amazing deal, but do they deal with only large quantities???

Im not sure what his minimum is. Maybe 300 adults? Something like that. My advise is that you go in halves with someone if you dont have the need for so many.

feed them when they are hungry and not when they are not, how simple is that. I don't think reptiles understand schedules.

A monitor in proper conditions, eats until full, then stops, kinda like you. The problem here is YOU, you do not understand what they normally eat.

How would you like to be fed three spoonfuls, and no more? Of course you would act like hungry monster. FR
