Who was the asshole who decided home labs shouldn't exist? why do I got to pay fucking 50 dollars + shipping for each dead mouse I want to use for study? I can just go outside and get like 10 dead mice for free.
>>16809235>why do I got to pay fucking 50 dollars + shipping for each dead mouse I want to use for study?Universities and government agencies have deep pockets and if a program doesn't spend all of it's budget they're punished for it with budget cuts so they're more than happy to pay retarded prices for shit like that. Now it's just the going rate.>I can just go outside and get like 10 dead mice for free.Getting them in the wild introduces confounding variables and so may not pass peer review depending on the study you're trying to publish.
>>16809235You can just go outside and use the mice you find for free, you decided not to do that.
Dead mice meaning random formalin perfused mice? Five bucks. https://www.nascoeducation.com/nascoguard-mouse-plain-preserved-ls01433.html At that price, unless you're a thirdie with no USD, just buy them.$50 would get me a live mouse of a particular inbred strain. It sounds like you don't need a defined genetic background.
What are you doing with dead mice? Can't you get some feeder mice for sneks and give 'em the ol' Auschwitz treatment?
>>16809612Anon thats $25 for a single mouse.
>>16809996$5/mouse.10% off orders of 10 or more.Don't be an idiot.
>>16810019It's $20 shipping at minimum.
>>16810029>yep, $5 mice>i'm an idiotWe accept your apology, idiot.
>>16810029100 mice @ $4.49per plus $53.88 S&H.That $5.0288/mouse.Get fucked.
>>16810035Who the fuck needs 100 mice?
>>16810038Who the fuck needs exactly one!?!"Man, I only had one dead, preserved mouse." said no one ever.
>>16810040"Man, if I ..."
>>16809235Lab rats are usually bred to a particular strain for experimental consistency. You can otherwise buy rats for cheap though? Look at animal feed shops for pythons and snakes
>>16809996>putting aside your lack of understanding of marginal costSo what? Let's say the market price is $25. That's it. There's no transfer agreement requirement. Do you value the time it takes you to catch, kill, and preserve a mouse at more than that or less than that?>moreBuy the mouse>lessGo do it yourself>but I want to bitch like a petulant dimwit raised with no fatherFuck off!
