feeder mice

[joifulgurl.livejournal.com]

so i'm pet-sitting my sister's ball python while she's out of the country this summer. and this thing needs to get fed. and i've been to petsmart/petco (whatever that is in everett) & an independent pet store in medford, and neither sells feeder mice.

so, where can i get feeder mice? i have a car, so that's not an issue. thanks, folks!

I've got a ball python as well. Any small domestic mouse should be good, you don't need to TELL them you're feeding it to a snake. If you need pinkies (for a smaller snake), you may need to call around to local pet stores to see what place has them. I'm pretty sure "The Pet Store" on Harvard Street in Allston, MA sells them, as they're a big reptile store.

ahhhh, good call. dunno why i didnt think of that. i don't need pinkies, so it shouldn't be a problem. thanks!

Big difference in price though between pet and feeder mice, but in a bind it will do.

No problemo. Let me know if you have any feeding issues, they can be particular in their eating habits. :)
