Does anyone know any good sites to order frozen rats through? I need some frozen feeders for a good price.

Perfect prey! Big cheese supposed to be good too.

Perfect Prey has been my top choice for years. They have good quality stuff and are very consistent with shipping things out promptly.

I second perfect prey. Very helpful staff - when my guy was ready for small rats but not small rats at the highest range I called and asked if I could have 'small' small rats. They sent me rats that were the perfect size.

third for Perfect Prey. i actually just had an incident where some rats from another provider were VERY smelly, and not typical rat smell smelly. everyone but my corn refused.
had to toss the stock and ordered fresh prey from Perfect Prey. got a nice hand-written thank-you note (with a pen!) and everything looked (and smelled) great. everyone ate these feeders no-problem. after this incident i will never not order from Perfect Prey.

Exactly. And one site, the shipping is $50 higher because I live in Nevada. I have a few more frozen rats that are a bit smaller so I'll try to hold off until this reptile expo I'm attending in California

You going to the Super Reptile Show? I'm going to be there on the 12th of August.
Layne Labs is a good west coast option. $30 for me, but I'm in CA. Not sure how much more NV would be.

Awesome. There are usually a few different vendors there that sell frozen rodents, so you've got options. My advice is to buy earlier in the day. They might run out of the sizes you want later on. It's good to bring a freezer bag or a cooler too, something insulated to take them home in. The last thing you want to deal with when you get home is several dozen stinky thawed rodents.
Other than that, have fun! I always love going out to take a look at all the snakes. They've got quite a variety. Lizards and tortoises too.

I agree with this completely. Bring a cooler and some ice and grab some feeders early. The price per rodent may be a little more than online, but still ends up being cheaper than ordering and paying shipping.
