Hm, I just realized the same thing...
I usually use Rodent Pro, but was going to try either Big Cheese or Perfect Prey. Both of those were out of a few sizes (rats) last time I checked. I figured it was due to everyone hurrying and getting orders in before the holiday craze.
I just checked again and they are still out. Big Cheese has no mediums or larges and Perfect Prey doesn't have any small or mediums. I need everything from weaned to large, with a couple xlg thrown in. Makes no sense to me to split an order because of the shipping expense..
What kind of irritates me about Perfect Prey is that they always seem to have the "lower quantity" higher priced rodents in stock. I can't buy a pack of 15 small rats, but I can buy 4 packs of "4" small rats, at a much higher price. Does that mean they keep a large stock of "lower quantity" killed rodents that are already packed and waiting to be shipped ? Each time I have checked over the months they were out of a size I needed in "bulk", yet they would let me purchase the same amount of rodents at the "lower quantity/higher price".
Just odd. Most people want to buy the larger quantity, or else buying frozen rodents doesn't make much sense. The shipping plus the higher price at the "low quantity" pricing would make the "per rodent" price almost higher then just buying at a store. Especially if you just get a few rodents. (the whole purpose of offering lower quantity, I guess)
Well, I'm just musing here
I would really like to try either company, but I want to place an entire order, every size I need. And I refuse to buy a bunch of "lower quantity" bags at a higher price to make up for the amount of rodents I need. So I guess I wait for a bit and keep checking.
Until then I stick with Rodent Pro. I really don't have any problems with them. Just want to try the vacuum packed plus ziplock option.
