Yes I think most pet stores do sell the frozen rats and mice, maybe its just not on display.............
the snakes have to eat too so at least its being done in a humane way....I cannot even kill mice that have been in the house. I have to drive them down the road.....LOL

I almost died of shock when I went to a very well known pet store in Mt Gravatt and saw a freezer absolutely stacked with frozen mice - of all different sizes mind you. I had never seen anything like it. Just really made me feel ill. I wont go back there Not ever ever again.


pet city lol - they have their fridges stacks high... at least this way is humane - by feeding live animals is totally cruel (to the domestic animal)...

one of my shelter pigs who was recently adopted was used as Snake food but couldnt fit in the snake's mouth... Im sure she would still have night mares.

In the bird add they say they don't care what type of bird they get or even if the bird is wild, so it's obvious that something else is going on. I don't believe they are looking for a bird to hand rear for a second.

perhaps it is only a really young teenage kid or something... no tact, needs it to be cheap coz their parents wont fork out any money and cant drive yet... it is possible...

I have dealt with a few people online and they have mostly turned out to be school kids..
