Where do you order your rodents from?

Although I would never buy my snakes from Pet Smart, T-Rex mice and rats are top notch.

Oops arctic mice just checked my freezer and got the name wrong in my last post sorry.

I buy mine locally from Norm and Diane at Dino Reptiles here in the Ottawa area in eastern Ontario.

I recently began ordering from Gourmet Rodent... At first I was wary because my local PetCo sells f/t from Gourmet Rodent, and I've had allll kinds of bad experiences with that. But I correctly assumed that it was PetCo's fault (either by thawing and refreezing or by keeping them around for way too long). The G.M. even gave me a big discount because of all the nasty ones I had bought at Petco (which wasn't even their fault). The order I received looks great and are all being eaten by the snakes. :)

I placed my first order online with rodentpro.com recently and their customer service was fantastic! I will never order from anywhere else! They even let me do a custom order, they have set amounts that you have to order, minimums, things like that, but they did my order even though it was a little different! It was packed amazing, wish I had taken a picture. All mice and rats I've gotten elsewhere have had feces, blood, substrate stuck to them but rodentpro's stuff has been clean and perfect! :)

Really? Did you email them for a custom order? I'd order more regularly from Rodent Pro if I could get fuzzy mice in packages of less than 100. Earlier this year I tried ordering from them. Everything went well, but with most of my snakes eating big rats, mice in bulk isn't convenient for me, as there's no way my one little rssb can get through 100 fuzzy mice in under a year.

I emailed them yes! I also explained how it wasn't convenient for me to order in large bulk like that and they said it was just fine. I had the same thought, how is my little corn snake going to eat all those pinkie mice? He would have outgrown them before he could eat all 100! So I just explained that and everything worked out :)

I live in PA, and no breeder is close to me... So I rack up at or reptile expo in hamburg, PA... Good prices and I don't have to pay shipping..

I ordered rodent pro... All the mice and rats were dirty. So far all of our snakes have refused them... Weird.

They do have good customer service though.

I breed my own mice, rats and ASF and enjoy it. So far I am keeping up with our 4 snakes and my sister's 2 with extras.
