I had this really great plan. I was going to get two mice and turn them into 10 mice....Easy!
Apparently, it doesn't really work like that. I started with four (I think). I usually buy feeders from the pet store. This means I have to make a stop once a week after work, spend almost $5, and then sign paperwork.

A couple of weeks ago I thought, "There has to be a better way," so I brilliantly bought extra mice and put them in a cage, thinking I'd have free food in no time. Genius!

Long story short- rodents are vile. I had a pet rat as a teenager and I don't remember him being so disgusting. The mice have been well cared for, but they have systematically taken each other out. My last hope for free snake food died this morning after a severe beating last night from her last remaining "friend".

I'm thinking making the switch to frozen/thawed is the most convenient, least expensive, best smelling, and most user friendly route to go at this point.

For my first order, should I start with a small amount? What do I want to look for in frozen rats? As far as determining quality, I mean. I read some online reviews of different sellers, but the information is so conflicting. One Guy loves it, the next says their rats are diseased.

What company have you used for an extended period with complete satisfaction?
