I was pretty happy with my order from Big Cheese. I ordered 25 rat pups, 40 weaned rats, and 15 small rats. After shipping, my cost per rodent ended up only being $.03 more than I was paying for rat pups locally. In reality I am coming out ahead since I don't have to pay for CO2 and euthanize the rats myself, or deal with going to buy them a few at a time. These should last me 6-8 months.
