I'm really hoping they are because I only live about 2 1/2 hours aways from them.

But I've never seen The Mouse Factory, so I'm going to check them out too. Thanks for the advice.
B/c shipping would pretty much kill me, no matter WHO I ordered from, I did a search and put together a spreadsheet of costs, shipping, sizes (for comparison..one's large is sometimes someone else's XL), and other factors.

It's been a year or so old, so the prices I'm sure are probably higher, and it might be hard to see, but when I did all the comparing, I started buying from The Mouse Factory. The mice and rats are vacuum packed, clean, in good condition. I had some problems w/the first order, and Edna was really good w/the customer service and sent replacements. There's been only one time when I went to order, & they were out of stock of the XXLG.

When I've called to order and had to leave a message, they've gotten back to me, usually the next business day or 2nd day. Talking with Edna, and she's helpful in getting my order so I can take advantage of their "buying 100" discount.

I order enough to last 5-6 months, so aren't ordering maybe twice a year, but they're always friendly when I call. I'd recommend them to anyone.
