Rodent Pro...PLEASE READ!!!

I get mine from American Rodent - I think lol. I had one fuzzy thats head was off its body, a clean line too, it was definitely from freezing though! All the insides were at a clean line too, and I would imagine if someone cut the head off of an animal it would be pretty messy prior to freezing, not packed perfectly in the sad little decapitated head! I'll find little feet or tails snapped off or hanging off the body too, not much to worry about (I've only seen this with fuzzys or pinkys though, I haven't had parts break off the big guys in my freezer).

yeah i have had the foot thing too... its kinda grose lol

I've ordered from both RP and BCR and haven't really noticed any difference other than the vacuum sealing. The orders I've gotten from RP have been fairly clean and good size. A few that had poo, and a very (very few) broken legs, etc. The order I've gotten from BCR have been about the same. I know people rave about the vacuum sealing but I found it to be kind of a pain. The entire packs are frozen solid in a big slab. Had to let them thaw a tiny bit and work at getting them seperated. Then the bags they used to seal are pretty useless after that. So then break out the big zip lock freezer bags and transfer everything into them. I've also had some that had poo and pee on them from BCR. I've ordered from some other online place (don't recall the name), but they were about the same. Just my 2c.

Rodent Pro and The Mouse factory are the two the I have gone through.
We have only a few snakes and both places are good about small orders.
The Mouse Factory I call and place the order and it arrives on about 2 days versus whatever the RP shipping schedule is...I am too impatient to figure it out...but their orders seem to take more like a week+ to get here.

I found that the smaller the mouse the more missing parts...makes sense...thinner and more easily breakable.

The one bag of Rodent Pro pinkies had no arms, legs or tails and 5of the 100 had severed heads. Our corns ate the heads then the bodies...they didn't seem to mind.

I do know that the mice from both places look better than most pet mice for sale and have no nasty odor like I ran into with the smal fish/pet stores 'home grown/ mice.

I've had orders from The Mouse Factory and from Big Cheese. Orders have included several sizes of rats, from fuzzies up to mediums.

The Mouse Factory has the cleanest, plumpest and best vacuum packaged product hands down. No feces. No urine. No broken limbs. Low odor.

Big Cheese has vacuum packaging that may or may not be actually vacuum packed. Rats are dirty and there are feces and urine visible in most packages. Rodents are scrawnier; not scrawny, but noticeably thinner than those from TMF. Big Cheese rodents smell.

I'm going back to TMF when this BC order is depleted.
