Source for Red Top Blood Tubes
Anyone have a good source for red top blood tubes? I found them on ebay but no smaller than packs of 100. I can buy singles at the vet office but last time they charged a dollar each, which is way more expensive than ebay, I just really dont need 100 of them.. Then I will have to get more goats, lol..

ETA: after looking at the shipping charges the vet might be my best bet..

They last a long time. You can sell them to other local breeders too if needed. I bought a box of 100 and am about through with them.

Last time I got them, they had a buy one (box of 100) get one free (box of 100). I don't think I'll ever have to buy blood tubes again!

heck, I wish I knew about the buy one/get one!

I get mine from PBS Animal Supply. I get the 3 ml tubes, because they're a little cheaper, and most testing facilities only need 1-2mls of blood.
