    I just did a price compare on both, and in the end, rodent pro is cheaper.

    I used rodent pro a few times, and didn't have any bad experiences, but recently decided I wanted to support local suppliers. I now use our local reptiles shop, their supplier, and also going to try out glacier rodents. Means I can pick up (no shipping!) and the rodents are much fresher

    Just throwing in a 2nd thumbs up for Big Cheese Rodent Factory. My local guy has been out of stock for a while, so I picked up a couple of trays of rats from BCRF while on a business trip with the boyfriend. They are plump, clean, and packaged really nicely. They were arranged on a styrofoam tray in neat little rows, and the pull apart with 0 effort. The snakes seem to really like them, and that's after being spoiled with fresh-frozen awesome local rats! I will certainly use them again.

    I've never used RP or MD, but I've heard enough bad things to completely scare me off either of them.

    I ordered from Rodent Pro once and never will again. The way they bag up the rats is beyond silly.

    I think I'll try Layne Labs (or was it Big Cheese?) next. I hear that they actually neatly package and vacuum seal them.

    I am a Rodent Pro fan. I've used them for years without any problems. The only thing I will have to say is that the size of "small rats" varied from order to order...sometimes on the big side, sometimes on the small side....But overall I love the quality and service.

    I picked up some bulk frozen feeders (pup to med rats) from Layne Labs and Global Breeders Assoc. at the Pomona show last weekend. Since it was the last day of he show, Layne sold out of several sizes, but what I did buy from them were top notch. Will definitely pick up more from them at NARBC in Sept. GBA had the right sizes I was looking for and their meds. were on the styrofoam meat trays lined up straight. I would recommend either one but I believe GBA only offers local pickup and at shows.

    Isn't rodent pro the one that's to blame for the toxic rats that were killing boas?

    Last 2 Repticon shows I went to MD was there and I passed both times due to the way they were packed and they looked just dirty. I have ordered from Big Cheese and they are nicely packed,healthy looking and clean. Bushhill rodents ar by far the best I have bought, he comes to another local show. Colby @ Bushhill will ship but the last time I got a quote for shipping it was high. Of course Repticon has a deal with MD and will not let any other rodent vendors sell.

    I've been exclusively using Rodent Pro for my frozen rodent needs since 2008 and haven't had any problems. I'd like to learn more about the toxic rat thing though if you have any links.
