I got fed up with paying petshop prices for my mice, so i found somebody in Manchester who does them much cheaper!

These are the crazy prices at my local shop:
Pinkies, 45p
Fuzzies, 70P
Small mice, 80p
Medium mice, 95p

and the guy i just bought from:
Pinkies, 16p
Fuzzies, 19p
Small mice, 27p
Medium mice, 37p

I'm actually shocked at how much the shop was charging!!

Prices in my area are around 35-45p for pinkies or 10 for £4 ish. I dont have a freezer (only the small one in fridge) so cant keep a lot at a time. So i guess i'll have to keep paying that until i move house (which seems like will never happen)

It looks like TSM will turn out the cheapest for me so I'm going to give them a try soon.

4p? I'll take the lot! :D

I think he tried tempting me too, Eej!
A baby pine snake it was, let me have a cuddle too

Username is just Pete Johnson
Mort13 Posted - 03/08/2011 : 18:46:01
Can I be cheeky and ask what his username on there is? Not sure if I'm looking at the right ad.
eeji Posted - 03/08/2011 : 18:21:47
Pete is a top bloke, except he keeps trying to sell me snakes every time I visit! :D Last time I was there we had his huge black ratsnake out trying to tempt me to the babies :D

Solution:
get more snakes then breed your own mice



Lol. I will try and get my husband on board first! House is packed to the brim right now!

Blooming heck! It would be cheaper for you to buy it from a local shop!

I will be using TSM soon... I used these guys last time, http://rsreptilesupplies.co.uk/epages/eshop514110.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop514110/Categories very similar in price they were for me for how much I order, about 40- 80 mice.

Hey guys...thought I would let you know about this place - http://anfrozenfoods.co.uk/ - it is just up the road from me, they are extremely reputable and I know that all the mice, rats etc are treated really well...Couldn't tell you Aegis whether highland delivery is over £20 (that is their standard delivery) - however, you would be looking at £13+delivery for 50 smalls

By eck,thats good!! Do they have a website or owt?
Figs Posted - 02/08/2011 : 18:27:02
Yup, its Pete!
I think he's a private supplier - i went to pick them up
tordyjo Posted - 02/08/2011 : 18:24:00
thats a huge difference in price, think i'm paying 60p per fuzz and 80p for a small, is it a private supplier or are you bulk buying over the internet
