I know that Rodentpro is highly recommended. The quality is there but the shipping costs as much as the food. I've tried Fuzzy Foods and they're not bad. I just want to know if anyone here has tried others that I'm interested in like MiceDirect, Cajun Mice, Bayou Rodents, etc.

I'm also looking for F/T dealers who are local to the Los Angeles area

Most recently I gave an order to Rodent pro of about 300 rodents with mixed feelings on it and here is why.....
The prices were fantastic as I took advantage of all the specials,
I got alot of animals at about half the cost of what they are at the Mouse Factory (I will talk about them in a second. I was also able to try some giant Guinne Pigs for food at $1.00 each (so I bought a lot of them) once the snakes all give birth I will try and see how they like them, they are over 1.5 lbs each!
The shipping scared me off at first also, so I call kevin and spoke to him about it. The cost of shipping being quoted on the website was about twice as much as it really was. The website calculated the shipping super high, It is really not that bad, I paid about $120.00 for all four boxes to be shipped.
Oh and their collossal rats are amazingly large! So large I had an adult boa unable to eat one!
The only real draw back is that the animals were not vacuumed packed and placed as orderly into the packaging. I see this as causeing two problems....
1) poor packaging takes up more freezer space (I actually went and bought a bigger freezer, which I was planing to do anyway)
2) I don't know if the rodents will have as much shelf life as the Mouse Factory rodents
Put in general I was very please with Rodent pro, for the price it was great.
Now the Mouse Factory is the Cadilac of rodent dealers. There stuff is a bit more expensive, but the animals seem cleaner and are neatly vacuumed packed into nice little styro trays, not just ziploc bags as above.
there rodent sizes are a bit smaller then rodent pro and the prices are more but the animals seemed to be handled better.
mouse Factory does run deals every once in a while but Rodent pro seems to have something always on sale.
either way I think you will do well.
Good Luck
