Buying frozen mice/rats online

[T_Sauer]

Big cheese does a very good job at making sure they are not wet when they package them .... I see what your saying but they actually come apart effortlessly

This may be a dumb question, but when they are frozen like that as opposed to individually wrapped, how to you get just one? It seems like they would be frozen together. Sorry, thanks.

That's not a dumb question at all. They're vacuum sealed but once you open the bag they come out individually. They're never frozen together. I usually break them down into smaller freezer bags with 4-6 prey items in each bag then I put them in ziploc containers in the freezer.

I'm quite happy with Big Cheese and the only thing right now that might make me switch is if I find something local

I used Layne Labs regularly for a long time, then recently caved in to Rodent Pro's advertising blitz about their recent $25 flat rate shipping deal, so i took advantage to save a few bucks. I ordered twice to stock up during that sale, and though not as pristine as Layne's product, I found the feeders from RP to be adequate. Layne's feeders ARE packaged better, (ie; tails are folded in, laid out side to side, etc, etc), and they DO smell better than RP's, but my snakes take RP's rodents with no refusals. From the looks of the photos on the previous page I should look into Big Cheese; hopefully their $29 flat rate shipping deal will last a while longer. I liked the looks of their packaging job, thanks for posting the photo.
With the price of frozen feeders nowadays, any chance to save a buck or two is welcomed, so I watch for sales and stock up when I can. Rodent Pro's rodents are passable, just not quite as clean and not as carefully packaged, but my snakes don't seem to mind and I saved a few bucks.....win, win.

their shipping has been $29 for months and while they say limited time time will only tell how much longer it will last

Hope it lasts. Rodent Pro's $25 deal is gone soon, if not already, but they are having a sale on Rats & mice right now too, which made the shipping deal even more attractive. I'm fickle, I'll go wherever I can get the best deal. It's kinda like couponing with frozen rodents. Since stocking up on XL rats & jumbo mice, (for my yearlings), it'll be a while before I have room in my freezer for more, so Big Cheese will have to wait for freezer space. Layne Labs has deals every once in a while, not on shipping so much, but they deeply discount their feeders occasionally when over-stocked, so it pays to shop around before ordering.

Well I bought a scale at Walmart lets hope it works right and if so I'll tell you all here In just a little bit just how many grams she is.

[renee2287]

It does it in pounds/oz it says she is 8.7 oz which is around what 246 grams?

Big Cheese matches Layne Labs in quality/packaging/price and beats them big on shipping costs.
Big Cheese beats Rodent Pro soundly in quality and packaging. They're almost identical in price and shipping costs.
To me .

Ok this scale does convert to grams she is 252 grams what size food does she exactly need for that size?
