Online Feeder Recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good place online to order frozen feeders? I have found a few doing searches but I’ve never used one before.

Perfect Prey and The Big Cheese Factory are the usual go-to favorites here! I've been very satisfied with my orders from Perfect Prey, and they offer smaller quantity orders which is super handy!

The Big Cheese Factory and Perfect Prey!!! Both extremely good!!!

I have only dealt with Big Cheese With zero complaints.

Cold Blooded Cafe! I ordered from them for the first time a little bit ago and I'm very happy with my shipment. They also have the best prices I've seen!

I use Perfect Prey. Great product, awesome packaging, great customer service and good prices.

I'm a Big Cheese girl! :)

I've only ordered from Perfect Prey but I've been very happy with product and packaging. They have slightly higher shipping for me here in Indiana than Big Cheese, but I only have two snakes and they allow you to order smaller quantities, so I can order six months worth for my BP and corn. Big Cheese only has large quantities, especially of the smaller feeders.

Product arrives very frozen, very clean and good sized. I ordered small adult mice which were supposed to be between 10-19 grams. Most of them were around 17 grams and nothing was at the minimum.

Big Cheese

Holy high shipping!!

Still a whole lot cheaper in the long run. The shipping is high because it's 2 day shipping with dry ice and what not.

Yeah that’s true. Probably a lot better quality animal as well. There’s no telling how long the feeders at Petco have been frozen.

Very true

Big Cheese currently have the $29 flat fee for shipping. I had been using them and so far so good. If you order 6 months worth of food, plus the flat fee, you should come out even or save some money. Even coming out even, the quality has been good and the sizes were about right except for the rat fuzzies. That rat fuzzies sizes varies a lot from being very small to big. The hoppers, mice and weaned rats that I ordered for my 6 snakes all arrived in perfect condition. No pee stains, crushed prey, etc.

Who I would not recommend for feeders is Underground Reptiles. I used to buy their feeders but no more, their staff is incompetent and the sizes are never accurate, their feeders are skin and bones covered in flea dirt, and some crushed to the point where you start to feel bad with the way these animals were treat pre and post death.

Layne Labs are awesome! I stock up at every expo but they sell online as well!

Layne Labs is great if you're on or near the West Coast. Their shipping charges are off the chart for those of us in the Southeast. Their prices are also a tad bit higher than Big Cheese or Perfect Prey but the quality of their feeders and packaging is definitely top notch.

That definitely makes sense, the eternal struggle of sourcing feeders!
