Where do you get your pinkies?

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out. What makes them better in your opinion? I noticed free shipping with $100+, but i won't be spending that much.

so how does the shipping work? Is it based on weight? If i buy, like, 100 pinkies from one of these sites, what would you say the shipping would cost?

There will be a show in Raleigh at the end of September. They are horrible about promoting the show that is why you probably dont know about it. They usually have 3 or 4 vendors selling feeders. Other than that check Craigslist, I recall seeing a couple ads for feeders in the Raleigh pets section.

Thanks, man. I may have to go to that one instead. i REALLY need to go to one soon though. I never get to go.

I still can't find any source that is affordable for the low quantities that I need. And yes, I've been checking Craigslist (set up notifications in fact) for more than a year.

We just ordered 20 from our local pet store. She does special bulk orders. They sell the prepackaged ones for 3 for $5.99 but we are paying $.99 each after the special order and having them shipped to the store.

I think I'm going to the Charlotte show. Never been to one, so it'll be something new.

I bought my first batch of pinkies from PetSmart online before I found out about any of those other places Probably the worst possible place to get them, and it definitely won't be happening again!

Ah... gotcha. I'm looking into it. It's the shipping that gets me when ordering online

That's a looooot o' mice.

How much would the shipping be? I mean, i know it's pretty expensive, but i don't know how much. I'm planning on buying 100 or so... any estimates on the cost of that shipping?

At American Rodent, we have a $50 min order but could do 250 pinkies at $.19 = $47.50, shipping would be about $12.50, and we have a box and dry ice charge of $15, so $75 shipped for 250 pinkies, or $.30 each delivered.
