food?
Anyone know of any good online vendors of frozen mice/rats?
-
I like "the Big Cheese Rodent Factory" but there is a thread here that has a list of rodent online vendors. =3
-
So I came across a new vender rodent pro. They are cheaper then the one I buy from now but have more in a package. 50 I only have one snake. I am afraid of I hot with them by the time I get so far they will be no good. My current provider sells them in package of 25. Should I stick with the one I have or do u think that the 50 will last? Also anyone have any problems with rodent pro?
-
I used them before I found a local source. I was always pleased with the product.
I don't think buying 50 at a time should be a problem. When I used them I made two large orders a year and never had any issues.
The best way to make ordering online work is to fill the box to make the shipping more worth it. When you place items in your cart it will tell you how much space it left in the box.
Sign up for their news letter and emails. They send out coupon codes and Hot Buys which are some really cheap rodents at times. I know I scored some XXL rats one time for a fraction of the regular price.
You should also search the forum. There is hardly anything that you could ask that has not been asked before. On slow night or when other threads are more active it is easy to not get the answers you want but they are easily found by doing a simple search.

I just ordered 350 mice from Perfect Prey for my corn snakes. My 5 corns should be good for a while.

I use both BigCheese and RodentPro. BigCheese is better for small orders because they have several box sizes. RodentPro has only one. However, both regularly run specials for flat rate shipping.

Once a week for the bigger ones. My daughter has a baby that gets a little nippy if it doesn't eat every 4 days. lol

Hi
i would agree that rodent pro is the best deal I have found, when they run specials, which is often. I also would consider ordering from south Florida rodents, if I lived within their free shipping zone, but their rate is prohibitive to me here in CA. They also run discounts on their Facebook page, and what piqued my interest was the fact that they vacuum seal their rodents. Btw thanks for the recommendation of big cheese rodents:)

Ive been using rodentpro for years. They are okay, my main complaint is the size variation weve been getting recently. I bought a big bag of rat pups and got some really small ones and some almost small rat size.
I also bought large rats and medium rats and cant tell the difference between them.

Re: food?
I am so glad I saw this thread. I opened up my tapatalk to post a question similar to this. I am going to be moving out to the desert in april, and I won't have any pet shops in close access to me. Looks like 4 votes for rodent pro. Do they package their rats well? I just want to make sure that if I go to work and don't get back till late the rats won't be cooked from the sun.

Search the forum and you will find plenty of threads discussing what you want. I liked RodentPro and the box was always in great shape but it was never left outside so I can't speak to that.

Well for the first month I won't be working, so if I get a large enough Vox I don't have to worry. How do the rodents keep?
-
Just got my shipment in from rodent pro and very disappointed. Not much vacuum to it, stool inside, and I think the size are off from what I ordered.

So last Friday I tried a rat and she took it, but the thing is I still have four or five mice left. I am thinking about alternating until the mice are gone. Or should I just give her the mice until there gone then go back to the rats? If u wanted to know y I tried the rat was I thought they were to big but they did meet the 10-15% range. Man was I amazed how big of prey they can eat. :O

I'd continue to feed rats, once I get them on rats I never turn back.
