I've only ordered from one place, the mouse factory, and have had excellent service and great mice. www.themousefactory.com

I have been ordering mine for the past few orders from 'Big Cheese Rodents' and have had wonderful shipments from them. I order fairly good sized orders and they have all come in clean, vacumn packed, proper sized and in good condition.
Prior I had gotten a couple orders from Rodent Pro and I had been extremely dissapointed with the condition of them. All the packages had feces and bedding stuck on the mice and they were yellowish looking like they had laid in their urine. There also were broken ones and most were all bent up so you had to straighten them out after you thawed them in order for the snake to be able to eat them properly. So I had to wash off & straighten a good deal of them before I could feed them and still did not feel good about feeding them out. Maybe it was just a fluke that they were this way, and not a norm with them but I felt the need to switch places.
Now, maybe others have had different luck with these two places, this was just my experience.

I have heard alot of mixed comments about RodentPro. But, I ordered from them about a month ago and was very satisfied, they all looked very good and the shipping and delivery was very accurate. Even with shipping costs I saved about 40 bucks as opposed to buying them from a pet shop. Just my experience.

An inside tip from a former pet shop employee.Find out who brings the rodents to your local petstore.I get all my rodents from local guys and i can watch them either be fresh froze or boxed live.Even when i had a 20% discount on rodents it still was costly.I pay about 1/3 of what i use to pay and there is no shipping charge.I do throw in a case of beer once in awhile but it's worth it...Paul.
