Ask ten âVPs of Business Developmentâ or similarly business card-ed folks what is business development, and youâre like to get just as many answers. âBusiness development is sales,â some will say, concisely. âBusiness development is partnerships,â others will say, vaguely. âBusiness development is hustling,â the startup folks will say, evasively.
Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is much less expensive than buying a pet at a pet store or through other sources. Buying a pet can easily cost $500 to $1000 or more; adoption costs range from $50 to $200.
Owning mice is not as expensive as owning a cat or dog, but that doesn't mean you won't spend money. The adoption fee or purchase price for mice will typically be minimal, but there are startup costs and ongoing needs to anticipate. The initial investment in supplies is likely to cost close to $100. A new 10- or 15-gallon aquarium with a fitted cover can run $25 to $40 (you may be able to find a gently used aquarium online for a lower price), and you'll want to outfit your mice's home with the basics plus some fun extras.
