Hi, I have to order frozen mice and have them shipped. I wasn't happy with my last purchase and hoped you guys had a company you'd like to suggest? Thanks, Vicki

I too use ARS becuase of their very resoanble shipping rates. I have received a split freezer bag the last two times I have ordered though, which didn't make me real happy. I guess they either use cheap bags or it came in direct contact with the dry ice.

That is why I didn't like my last company. First they delivered to the wrong address. Then when I got it the next day I had mice everywhere from a split bag.

They don't ship unless you buy $100 worth. I don't have enough snakes!

Then $100 worth will just last a long time....It'll pay off in the long run......

John,

Don't they get too old or frostbite after some time?

Thanks,
Vicki

Alittle late with an answer but what the hay. I recently went through this myself. I used to purchase all my feeders from the Mouse Factory. They are going out of business. They had no minimums, great quality and coustomer service and you received your order the next day. They were somewhat more expensive than some, depending on how much you orderd, but it was worth it. Its always the best ones that don't make it. In my search for another supplier I found out that some claim to raise their own mice but in reality they buy reject mice from reasearch facilities. So beware. I settled on Big Apple Herp. for my feeders. They are alittle cheaper due to flat rate shipping and their quality matches the Mouse Factory but you have to place your order by Thursday the week before to get your order by Wednesday the following week. They ship out Monday with second day delivery (signature required to get quarantee). The feeders do arrive frozen and they are guaranteed as long you sign for the delivery. Good luck in your search.
