Canadian Whole Prey

[Deleted]

Okay, so I want to eventually feed my ferts a whole prey diet! The problem I am having is finding some good providers in Canada

I know of Canadian Mouse Man, which I will be ordering from!

I have seen posts of larger whole prey being fed as well, like Guinea Pigs and Rabbits. Where the heck can I get those from?!

If anyone knows of any places, please let me know! It will be much appreciated

Personally I find the higher prices we have to pay for whole prey here in Canada ridiculous. Luckily I am close enough to the boarder to have my Rodent Pro order shipped to the U.S. side of the boarder and I just go and pick it up. If you look under the Whole Prey section there should be providers listed there. Another and possibly cheaper option is to check out some reptile forums and see if you can find any smaller prey breeders in your area. I have recently gotten my girls switched to a raw frankenprey diet but are still not all that impressed with the whole prey when I try to include it in their diet.

You could also look into finding quail / chicken breeders in your area to see if you could get whole quail / young chickens. Rabbit breeders may also be local.

I've been looking for guinea pigs for years, still not come up with anyone Rabbit breeders are often local. Unfortunately, I've found that they're also rather fly by night....they set up (I think looking for a quick buck) and then discover that multiplying like rabbits is a term not a fact . It's also very expensive.
Prey costs up here are terrible. I discovered that I can buy a fully dressed rabbit at the grocery store for the same amount that I buy bunny from a supplier....the difference I don't have to clean it
