Perfect Prey is usually my backup. They are a little pricier per rodent and with shipping, but the quality is good IMO.

I've also used south Florida rodents.. They used to sell f/t asf also. But they are a good bit more expensive per rodent and shipping.

I bought from feeder source once at a local show. Quality was good, but their online prices are expensive IMO.

I use reptile deli because of their flat rate shipping. There rodents are also a lot bigger than advertised past few orders. Now I do a mix of frozen and breed some rats too so I don’t order as much.

I did an unboxing video of reptile deli. It’s in my YouTube link if interested.

I just received my 1st shipment of Big Cheese today and everything looks great! It was my 1st online delivery using any company because I was used to buying from the dealer at the local Repticon and the sizes were less them impressive.

My delivery came in 3 days and was packed in dry ice. The rodents were frozen solid and in great condition. I ordered a 20 pack of weaned rats (30-50grams) and after weighing each one, it came to an average weight of 43grams (3-4 in the low to mid 30s and several in the high 40s). Very impressed so far! Thanks to everyone for their reviews which prompted me to order.

Usually I buy at Cons, but i quickly became non too fond of the size difference. Just looking in the bad you usually see one under or even over the weight. I just had my first order with perfect prey and it shipped, well, perfectly! The pen is pretty decent too, if that helps :D

A bit late to the party, but I have nothing but good things to say about Perfect Prey. Granted, I can only compare them to frozen pet store feeders, but given the quality of their rodents, packaging, and pricing, I'll never have a reason to try anything else.

FeederSource is a rip off even if you buy at repticon! I can get the same amounts shipped from Layne Labs for the same price as picking theirs up, not counting $5 parking and $10 admission. Layne Labs quality and packaging is excellent. I don’t have experience with any others.

rodentpro is what i use if i cant get from my local supplier im fournate enough to have a local snake/rodent breeder that sells me F/T any size $1.6/each but only because I buy like $150 to $200 dollars worth at a time and throw them in my deep freezer they are fed mozuri and they are gassed right there so I know they are fresh.

Been buying at conventions/petstores, just got my 1st online order from Layne Labs. Shipping was hefty, however all my babies are growing and are at weird feeding sizes. They came out on top as far as size selection (having in between S-M rats lol) and let you buy smaller quantities which I needed for now. Quality and packaging were impeccable. That being said, in 6 months-a year when sizes stable out a bit I will probably order from Reptile Deli, as they are closer to me, and I have prior good experiences with them. Also, Brian mentioned that they are working on selling smaller quantity packages in the future for rats under size Medium, so that will be great as they do $25 flat shipping.

That’s a main reason I went with them. Flat rate shipping.

Thank you guys for this post, I was actually going out pretty far to get my rodents as cheap as possible.

I just found Reptile Deli on this thread and it turns out his shipping is only 23 dollars since we're about 2 hours away, I think I just found my new supplier!
