Loxahatchee Rodents: Best in the Frozen Feeder Biz!

Just want to give a shout out and plug to Loxahatchee Rodents out of Florida. I have ordered from them a few times now and the frozen feeders are always VERY clean, well packaged, stated weight, and shipping is much more reasonable than other frozen feeder sites I have received quotes from. They always arrive frozen solid...even with a 3-day UPS ship from Florida to Minnesota. I just could NOT be happier! Also, every time I emailed them a question, they responded quickly and were more than happy to answer all my questions. They also have mice :gj:.

My last order, which I received today, consisted of 40 weaned rats and 50 fuzzy rats. With shipping, it breaks down to ~ $1.45 per feeder. VERY affordable. It may not be the solution for a single snake, but I only have a small collection of four at the moment and frozen feeders are difficult to come by where I live...

Here is my order from today. The proof is in the pictures:

Whole Order: 2x20 Weaned Rats & 2x25 Fuzzy Rats

Love that weaned rat packaging!

Chit..too late to edit! Those are Rat PUPS. NOT fuzzies. Had fuzzies on the brain. Or a fuzzy brain. I was in a hurry so forgive me :P

I LOVE Loxahatchee. I've ordered from them several times and they are the cleanest and most neatly packed feeders I have ever gotten.

I agree 100% with everyone. I don't have any experience with any of the other frozen food vendors, but I will definitely continue to do business with Loxahatchee as long as I can keep spelling their name correctly.

I use them every time I need to buy mice for my corn snakes. I'm always impressed with their packaging and the mice are always clean and soft (I've ordered from other companies and the fur is mangled, discolored, or greasy). The rodents always arrive on time and frozen and they are GREAT with communication. I ordered during a hurricane and even though my order had to ship out a few days later due to flooding, the owners would call or e-mail several times just to keep me informed. Love this company and will continue to get my mice from them.

They also sell ASF if you need those ;)

Exactly! We recently moved from South Dakota back to Minnesota and not wanting to miss a shipment, I picked up a couple feeders from a local pet store to tie the kids over until we moved into our new place, and two of them refused them! They were greasy and overall I wasn't impressed. Whenever I open the vacuum bags from Loxahatchee, they feel like they sent them to the salon before shipping them. Super clean and super soft!

One of the members over at another forum has been to their facility and said their breeding rooms are just as clean as the mice/rats they ship, they don't cut corners when it comes to their colony's cleanliness and health, and won't even let people into their breeding facility. I can't sing their praises enough!

If you haven't ordered from them, look them up and tell them Shawn sent you...:gj:

Have you ever ordered from Big Cheese? I have seen that company suggested on this site, and wondered if anyone could directly compare the two. I am attempting to find a site where I can order frozen feeder for my BP, and there are a number of sites out there. It seems that Big Cheese and Loxahatchee Rodents are comparable when it comes to price per feeder and shipping.

I will also check out the next reptile expo that comes to town, but as I am finding out now, the timing may not always work out. I just fed my last fuzzy rat to my BP yesterday, and the next reptile expo is towards the end of the month.

I have not not ordered from Big Cheese but I have ordered from other online feeder sites and have found Loxahatchee to be the best, IMHO. Just good, clean feeders. I am kind of a creature of habit. When I find something good I usually stick to it and don't change and when it comes to my animals, I always want the best. I am not willing to experiment with others at this point.
