Oh come on now. Really?

@ EL and Albert ... Thanks for the heads up, hopefully I get lucky :please: .... I looked at both perfect prey and Layne labs before making my order with Rodent pro ... I couldn't bring myself to swallow the cost that Layne labs came out to and perfect prey was also out of med rats .. luckily I played it smart and only ordered a 2 month supply from rodent pro instead of the usual 4 to 6 month supply that I like to order. I would love to stick with Big Cheese but like Eric said I am getting so frustrated with their lack of med rats that I don't know what to do. If they can get their supply and demand issue under control I would gladly go back to them but until then it's just not worth my money as 80% of my order is usually med rats.

I'm thinking they need to expand their facility again. Make more rats!

@ T_ Sauer: Gotcha. Understood. I will hope for the best as well. :)

I'd never trust RP after the stories of snake deaths. If you lived close, I'd happily breed feeders for you. I really enjoy them. Even invested several hundred early this year to get into dalmatians, marbles, and silvermane rats. I have a big cue of people waiting for this summer when I can get up to production to provide food for them. Make some extra money from doing what I like anyways. I could take advantage of the barren market and charge extra but I'm keeping reasonable profit margins to give reasonable prices.

I used to shell out for layne labs before I bred my own. (which started at snake #3) That's a lot of money though if you're feeding a lot of snakes. But I liked their quality and I only was feeding 2-3 snakes at the time.

Marrissa-Where in CA are you? I'm in Ca also so I use Layne Labs because their feeders are the highest quality of everyone (and i've tried a lot). I'm just lucky they are not too much to ship for me. Also, to whoever is looking...don't use feeder source either. The rats I got at an expo where soaked with urine and my BP who eats everything was like "no way!!!". I couldn't tell they were soaked until I thawed them out...YUCK! (they were also super skinny). NEVER have this problem with LL.

I have used and liked Perfect Prey for mice but haven't got any rats from them.

This is my most recent Perfect Prey order. If they only had xs rabbits. :)

I was reading and had a laugh cause just last week i was thinking how much big cheese sucks for never having mediums. Wonder where they go? Pre orders maybe? At least sometimes i get big smalls.

^^^^ This is the only reason it hasn't been to rough for me in the feeder department the past several months, for about 2 1/2 months I have been buying mine from a local pet store that happens to be the exception to most pet store horror stories you hear about and they have a class A reptile department. What I like about them the most is that they are all about supporting and buying from local breeders in the area, in all departments :gj: Recently they have been getting good clean nice quality feeders in and the smalls have been above average in size so it has worked in my favor since Big C has not had mediums .... However the one thing I can not boast about is their prices, my wallet has been taking a beating

Kinda funny i was editing my post to add how I've been considering getting pre killed then freezing them. I backed out on accident and it erased or something so i just left it. But anyway yeah i hear yah T on the prices i just got x2 sm, x2 weaned, and x1 pup and it was like around 140. Luckily i only need to get more like every 2-3 months so i doesn't really kill me. I was kinda pissed cause it was one of a couple financial set backs that have been hitting me right before narbc tinley show.:rage: But by some miracle i got a 1000 deductible or something from state farm for my car getting total like a year ago:weirdfaceand :gj: lol. Funny the way life works sometimes.
