rodent breeders in bc???

sorry i realize this topic has probably been done before but i really need help right now. i am in abbotsford and i only know of one breeder close to me. i like dealing with this person when they actually have what i need (which isnt very often) or when i can even get ahold of them for that matter. its gotten pretty bad lately and i have 5 snakes now. one of which i paid 1500 for and obviously i like to keep them well-fed.

there is a pet store up the road from me that sells rats of all sizes for 6 dollars each. while id rather pay a bit less, its not the price that really bugs me. its the fact that every time i go there and get some rats, they are live and i have to wack them out. i cannot do this anymore. i wont. im looking for someone close to abbotsford or even just anyone in BC who breeds mice/rats and sells them frozen. i realize my collection is not huge but it is always growing and if theres actually anyone out there who can provide a steady supply of rodents, ill bring them as much business as possible.

I'm looking for a new supplier too Munchy... let me know if you find anything. At the moment, I'm ordering from Alberta... I'd much rather find something a little closer to home though

yeah it seems there arent too many breeders around here. not that i have found at least. ill definitely holler at you if i find anything though.

how much i shipping from alberta and how much do you usually buy at one time?

The shipping was around $40 if I remember correctly, and I had purchased 200 rodents -- 100 each of mice & rats, of various sizes. I was hoping the shipping would be less, but it wasn't quite as bad as it could've been I guess. LOL.
