It does sound a lot but then I bulk order and buy my rodents at the same time. My last order was 1kg smelt, and a&n rodents - 100 pinkies, 100 fluffs, 50 ex-breeders. So, with the shipping spread across the board it works out cheaper than any shop for both my rodents and the smelt.

Dillies, for example come in 100g packs at £1.60-2 mail order (probs more in the shops). that is about £16-£20 a kilo without shipping ... so buy 2 kilos with the above postage and you've already saved money. Buy 4 kilos and it becomes cheaper than supermarket salmon.

Considering my feeding sessions average around 120g of food every 4 days now - bulk is the way to go for me.
