    Best online f/t rodent supplier?
    Not so much worried on price but best quality rats. I'm going to be laid up for quite a while from back surgery and won't be able to hit vendor at local expo for quite sometime.

    Thanks in advance

    Where u from
    Maybe there are other in the hobby that are local to you willing to drop them off if you are out of commission. I know I would if someone local needed some help.

    Asking for the best is going to get you a lot of opinions, so I'll start with mine since I've been ordering for years.

    I used to order from Rodent Pro, and I'll never order from there again. They're not the best quality, they are quite small. Now keep in mind this way, back in 2010? I have no idea how they are now but because of previous experience, I'll pass on ever doing business with them again.

    After a few bad orders with Rodent Pro, I switched to Big Cheese Rodents because they were the next state over for me(I live in LA, they're based in TX). I found they had the best prices and they were very nice sizes along with quality feeders, plus they got here very fast. Upwards of 100 orders from them and I had one mix up when I ordered $400 worth of stuff. I think I got an extra tray of small mice versus large mice or something IIRC. I phoned immediately after noticing and took a picture with the invoice and on my next order he gave me an extra tray for free. I'm just getting back into the hobby again, but on a much smaller scale so I'm going to place an order with him today, though a friend told me atm he's out of a lot of feeders when he called the other week.

    Now Layne Labs I have personally never ordered from, but I have a few friends who swear by them. They're a bit pricer, but I've seen some of their feeders and although not justified for me with the price difference, I would definitely consider them one of the best.

    Now I'll add, if Big Cheese is out of a lot, then I may order from American Rodent Supply. They currently have the best pricing and with 1 day shipping to me for $29, I'm curious to see, so if BCR is out, I'll order from these guys and post a review.

    I like to order from perfect prey.com. Super clean feeders , and they are packaged extremely well. They arrive in vacuum sealed trays. Helps keep the rodents fresh longer. Sizes for me were on the small scale, but that was fine with me actually needed them on the smaller end. Fast shipping decent prices and my animals always gobble their feeders right up. No nasty smells from the rodents either like I have experienced with rodentpro . I have also ordered from Kelly Haller over on kingsnake and his feeders were excellent quality as well.

    Thanks but I live in Michigan. Usually get all my feeders from a guy at the Kalamazoo Reptile shows. Always been VERY happy with good quality rodents. That's why I'm not so concerned with price but want top quality feeders.

    Thanks Neal, I'll give big cheese a shot. I'll just need a couple months supply for 4 snakes and I should be back on my feet to get back up too Kalamazoo again.

    Any time. Big cheese also vacuum seals.
