is that if you don't buy 500, or even 1000+ at a time, the total price, including the mice and shipping, it's not very economical.

Another bad thing about internet suppliers is that they usually don't guarantee live arrival, and if the shipment delayed a few days, you may have a problem on your hands (rotten pinks wouldn't smell very good, and they shouldn't be fed to snakes).

On the other hand, there are the frozen mice shippers. Also, if the shipment is delayed a few days, you're going to have a very bad odor from the rotting mice.

I'm not sure where you are, but it shouldn't be very hard to find a breeder selling live pinks for .20, .25, or even .50 cents apiece.

I used to pay .25 cents for pinks, fuzzies, hoppers, adult mice, and x-breeders. So, there are the more economical breeders out there. You just have to find them.

: Where and what's a good price? I've paid $1.89 and .99 from retail. Are internet suppliers good?
