    Your top 3 feeder list?

    So my pythons are going to rats and I just noticed that my pet store only carries small-large rats and not the intermittent sizes, which means I am going online. I did not want to do this as they are still growing and one seems to sprout legs on proper diet 0.0. But I just used Cold-blooded cafe(Had to actually make a PayPal...Lols)

    My point is what are your top 3 picks for feed?

    Could also use some help, On storage, Are mini freezers a thing? LOL

    Have not received the package will post a review when they get here.

    I second Big Cheese and Perfect Prey, I like Big Cheese’s packaging more though. And Rodent Pro wasn’t very good back in the nineties, so yeah I totally agree with Taylor!

    Ive only used perfect prey. I'm super happy with them and will continue to use them.
    Prices are fair, quality is fantastic, packaging is pretty much perfect, customer service is great...

    Yes, they make mini freezers. You can find chest freezers as small as 3.1 cubic feet. I don't think I've seen smaller, at least. 5.1 cubic feet is a more common size from what I've noticed while shopping for one. But since my tenant moved out I'm just using the upstairs freezer for now.

    Just placed my first order with Big Cheese, but I've yet to hear anything negative about them. They do tend to sell out of a few of the more popular sizes- they're sold out of small and medium rats at the moment. Shipping right now is a flat $30 per box, which is not bad at all.

    Perfect Prey is probably the most widely used feeder source on this forum, but the shipping can be more expensive. For me, the ultimate deciding factor when choosing between Big Cheese and Perfect Prey was that the shipping from PP cost almost as much as my entire order, shipping included, from Big Cheese.

    Coldblooded Cafe is a newer company, but their shipping is also only $30, and they probably have the cheapest rodent prices of anyone I've seriously considered. Their small rats also come in bags of 20, instead of bags of 15 like with PP and BC. However, they do not vacuum seal their rodents like PP and BC do, so that's something to keep in mind if you're wanting to store rodents for several months (although Walmart has some pretty affordable vacuum sealers if you want to sort them out by size and seal them yourself). I've heard only good things about them though, and they will probably be my backup if Big Cheese is out of small rats when it's time to order again.

    I have only used Layne Labs and have had great experiences. The feeders are of a visibly higher quality than I have received from local pet shops. Heard great things about Perfect Prey as well, but I'm on the West Coast and might as well be environmentally friendly.
