MICEDirect GOOD?

[Skiploder]

I was EXTREMELY disappointed with my order from American Rodent Supply! I ordered 200 mice (100 large, 100 jumbo). When I opened the box, the size separated bags of mice had exploded and there were tons of loose mice in the box. The bags looked like they had just stuffed them to the max which caused them to tear before they had even shipped it. I say that they most likely tore prior to shipping because when I opened the box, the worse of the four bags were on top and looked as if whoever packed everything had gently placed the 2 exploded bags on top and then scooped a bunch mice on top of those bags. Essentially, I had to re-bag almost everything.

The size of the mice was also a joke. The jumbos were big and meaty, but the larges were 'medium' at best and quite thin. Bad batch of mice? Who knows but now I breed my own feed because of this experience...

I had been ordering from ARS for the last year and have recently noticed a "lapse" in their service and their quality. My last ordered took an extra week to ship and the when it did, it was poorly packed and the feeders were just about thawed out.

After reading many recommendations, I switched to Big Cheese. The mice and rats are clean, plump, consistent (size wise) and well packed. Plus, they ship on Monday and I get my package the next day.

I've used Rodent Pro and Mice Direct in the past and noticed the same issues that other people are referring to.
