I've ordered 4 times from RodentPro. I would say that every time I've been at least "satisfied" with the order, on 1 of the occasions I was extremely happy. First, someone here mentioned big cheese is cheaper...last I checked their large rats were over $.40 more per rat than rodentpro? That could be a huge difference if you have a lot of breeder females.
Also, vacuum sealers are down pretty cheap now. I could order from RP and do that myself. At $.40 difference per large rat, it would take about 100 large rats to make up this cost.
I would say most of the rats from RP have some feces in with them. I don't really understand why this happens, and I have talked to them multiple times about this. If it happens in the euthanizing process can't they shake them off before freezing? If it happens after they get frozen, then freeze them, shake them, and repack them. This still baffles me. It seems like this small change would be a massive improvement to rodent quality.
A few times my rodents from RP have been on the small side, but this last time they were HUGE. I was really happy.
Although I can't comment on any other place, I would say my experience with RP has been: cost-effective combined with satisfactory (occasionally great) quality feeder animals.
Just my 2 cents.
