Mice Direct is the one taking the crap for the whole frozen rodent industry....and BTW why is anybody believing everything the media says....aren't they the ones that tell the public your BP will kill the family pet or EVEN A CHILD!!

We have been aware of the FDA's doings for roughly 2 weeks. They are targeting frozen feeders in general, not the company Mice Direct. So yes I do know what the FDA is up to, we have been in contact with some of the key players. They are debating regulating the entire frozen feeder market just as they do dog food. So yes this will affect the ENTIRE frozen feeder industry.

Remember, we are not talking about live animals with salmonella, but raw meat. They tested RAW MEAT....not the living breeders. And everybody and their mama knows you can get salmonella from handling raw meat...even that for human consumption.
I think you need to calm down a bit and stop being so aggressive in the way you dialog with others. For some reason you seem to enjoy belittling those who have different opinions than you.

The recall was initiated by the FDA AFTER samples contained salmonella. These samples were traced to lots that were sent to 17 states where people got sick. Nowhere in the recall data does it indicate that the illness was possibly caused by anyone other than Mice Direct. I do not know where you got your info from but I would appreciate it if you could direct us there.

The fact that it was dead rats that were infected and not live breeders is a smokescreen, it means nothing. I feed my boas frozen and not live so all I care about is the frozen feeders that I get from them....the ones with salmonella.

If companies are shipping feeders that are contaminated with salmonella maybe they need to be regulated. If they can't police themselves then maybe someone else should. Just a thought.
