I've gotten them from Rodentpro and the Mouse Factory. I was happy with the quality of both places. I prefer the Mouse Factory because they shipped them quicker and since I'm on the west coast and they are in TX the shipping was much cheaper than at Rodentpro. Hope this helps.

I've always purchased from Big Cheese Rodent Factory http://www.bigcheeserodents.com/ Their product is great, always of the highest quality and relatively cheap. It always comes quickly and frozen. Give them a shot. I think you'll like what they offer.

Thanks Tosha and amoeba14
Do you know who they use for shipping?
I hate DHL
I ordered some feeders a little over a week and the do date for delivery was for Thursday the 23rd and I still haven't receive them.

Thanks again

If I remember correctly, Rodentpro.com used UPS second day. The Mouse Factory uses Fedex next day air. DHL is usually pretty good, but around the holidays I think every shipping method gets pretty unreliable. Most of the companies (I think) offer a couple choices for shipping and if you really wanted them shipped another way than whats offered the company might even work with you.

I buy all my frozen rodents from American Rodent Supply. The rodents are extremely clean, fresh, and cheap. I would highly reccommend them!!!

That's not necessarily true, I've paid more $$ for what turned out to be blocks of frozen rats (pretty much useless and a real waste of my time and money) but have never had any problems with the two companies that I've recommended I've always received fresh high quality rats from them (hense the reason why I recommended them). Paying more does not mean you get a better deal. I'm sure the company you recommended provides a good service, but you shouldn't put down other companies that can provide equally good service without the outrageous mark up. Just my opinion.

Thanks
I'm going to try RodentPro, they are a little closer to me.
How do some of you though them out? Can you use a spot lamp?
Thanks again for all the help.

Take care
