Whats the best place to order frozen rats?

I also bought from Reptile Deli once or twice without issue.

One of the conditions I settled into with my roommates before moving in together....

All rats stay in my own minifreezer.
Although.... it has worked well to deter people from stealing my own frozen treats if I hide them there too.

Just don't get the two confused.

I've ordered from most of the big US companies just to compare. In terms of feeder quality, my absolute go-to is Layne Labs. If I lived on the east coast I'd order from Cold-blooded Cafe or Perfect Prey. I won't order again from RodentPro just based on the notably lower quality of feeders in the orders I placed with them.

Humane treatment of feeder animals is really important to me, and I will say that in telephone discussions, Layne was head and shoulders above any other company in that arena - but if you don't live in the western side of the country, their shipping may not compare well to Cold-blooded Cafe or Perfect Prey.

FYI, Cold-blooded Cafe is in Indianapolis, IN.

Thank you! This is very helpful. I live on the East Coast, But I'm willing to pay extra for shipping if it means these rodents are high quality and treated humanely

If you’re considering perfect prey since you’re east coast, they have a section in their website outlining the care and euthanasia process for their animals, as well as their general philosophy on feeder treatment, which I appreciated. Just in case you’re interested and hadn’t seen that yet.

Yes, I noticed that too- that's another reason I'd try them if ever I quit breeding my own.
