I've noticed problems with getting hold of frozen food. I was ordering some mice on 888reptile's site and the adult mice disappeared before my eyes as I was ordering, and the free delivery threshold went up too... so I ordered from TSM instead. They're good but even they say to phone/email to check availability before putting in an order.

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

The shop i use for frozen mice told me that alot of shops (including that one) are finding it hard to get adult mice. Has anyone considered breeding mice to then feed to snakes prekilled? I dont know if it would work out cheaper in the long run and i think i might get attached to the mice :S

I'm breeding my mealies, wax worms, dubia & lobster roaches. Gonna try crickets next.

Only small amounts at the mo but enough for my geckos anyway.
