Question
I know that PK or FT is better but sometimes a snake just won't go for it.  So I have that part covered.  Here is my question.  I have a friend who owns a pet shop and needs to find a new distributor for live feeder mice.  I breed my own but cannot supply her as well. At this point she owes me 100 mice.  So I have an interest in helping her.  Do you know of any breeders or distributors of live feeders?  Thank you.

Answer
That would depend entierly on where you are in the country.  Most breeders will  not ship live mice especially long distances as I'm sure you know how much body heat 100 mice together give off and in  extremely vented containers the amonia is kind of strong as well as the element of escaping all over the inside of a delivery truck.
