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!! |

| 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 |

| 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 |

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. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Thats the problem, we dont even have a normal pet shop where i am. Never mind for reptiles  So cant buy anything locally. All has to be online. Im basically at the tippy-top of scotland, walk any further and you fall off into the water. |
