    I order mine from big cheese rodent factory in Texas. I like the way they package their rats. It's vaccum sealed to prevent freezer burn and the rats are on a styrofoam tray. I think the pinkies don't get vacuum sealed. I buy small rats, rat pups and weaned rats and they are vaccum sealed.

    I order from Loxahatchee Rodents in Florida. I love them! They also vacuum seal their rodents so they stay fresher longer while in the freezer.

    Use your resources and look around for reptile shows coming to your area. I went to my first last weekend and bought a 50 pack of F/T mice at a pretty good price for my 3 snakes. The show will be back in 2 months and I'll go back to buy more. And they'll be back 4 times next year. My feeding supply issues are solved for now.

    Rats popping is from cooking them when defrosting not the supplier. It is likely you have too much heat when you are thawing.
