Where are people getting their frozen rodents from now?

I use Loxahatchee Rodents and have been very pleased.

I've been ordering Rodent Pro for awhile and have been disappointed with the quality. I usually pick them up at the local show, but I've had a few issues with them saying they were out of stuff and not letting me preorder then miraculously having an abundance at the show (which forced me to have to pay show prices). I ordered from a place called The Rat Deli and was very pleased with the packing and quality. Where RP's rats were all jumbled in the bag, Rat Deli's were nicely packed and vacuum sealed. The smalls were a bit on the small end of the scale, but the guy I spoke with said that's because he was pulling my order as soon as he could. I'll seriously never go back to Rodent Pro if I can help it.

The unfortunate thing is, I'm looking to drop like $480+ on a large stock of rodents and the only ones that can meet the order size or don't have immense shipping is Rodent Pro. I'd thought they moved past this. :(

Layne labs had a $135 shipping cost automated just now, that seems like way too much to me. RodentPro quoted me $54 and I filled the box up to 0% space.

I have used Layne Labs and I was very happy with the rats that I got. After seeing so many different options on f/t and I have to say that the quality from Layne labs is well worth it. I have also tried to clean the poo off of rats from rodent pro too :(

There's some new guys out Cali way name of Ratamatic. You might give them a whirl. Ratamatic@gmail.com

Layne Labs is AMAZING. They're a good company as well. They donate a lot of feeders to wildlife centers and so forth. I remember there was a thread a long time ago on cornsnakes.com and there was an injured owl. The OP found the owl and tried to get it some help and was put in a wildlife center and one of the ladies that helped her was the owner of Layne Labs or something. Layne labs immediately sponsored the owl and donated mice for free to feed the owl until it will recover. Something like that.

But I ordered mice from them and they're super clean! All their little feet and tails are tucked in, they're not stuck together or anything. But I am on the west coast in California so shipping isn't so bad for me.
