I am using Rodent Pro much more often then I am using anyone else. My last 5 or so orders came from Rodent Pro (in fact I just ordered another $400.00 worth today). I used the Mouse Factory prior to that that the prices and size difference with Rodent Pro was just too much to ignore.
The shipping fees are a bit high and the packaging leaves a bit to be desired but as fast as I go through the rodents now, the Vacuum packing of the other guys is not as important to me as the size and price. I don’t need 1 year self life anymore, just big Rats and I get some monsters from them! It would take at least two Jumbo rats from The Mouse Factory to equal the size of the Colossal Rats from Rodent Pro and the cost would be almost 4x the amount. The Mouse Factory’s largest Rat is 300 grams at $2.50 each where Rodent Pro’s Largest Rat is 595 grams at $164.00 each. I would be paying $5.00 per feeding Vs $1.64 per feeding from Rodent Pro. When you figure 40 Plus snakes each week, that makes a pretty good difference, and if you catch the weekly special right, you will only pay $1.00 per rat! (I did not get it this time though!)
As far as Big Cheese. I have never delt with them so I really can’t say. I do know that I don’t like have people try and talk me down, I give a bottom price when I sell my animals and I don’t like having to talk others down. I would rather deal with the bottom dollar price and leave all the flea market bargaining at the Flea market. Some people like to haggle, I don’t (you should see me try and buy a car, I am ready to explode by the end of the day!), So I would have never thought to ask for a matching price. I would rather he just give it up front?
I have spoken to both Kevin and the Lady that works at the Mouse factory and Both have been great to deal with. If I was a smaller breeder and needed the long time shelf life that The Mouse Factory offers then I would still be using them, but I don’t so I use Rodent Pro for the most part now, Wow what a rant on something that I really never thought that much about LOL
