Buying frozen mice (RodentPro)

The rodents don't look nearly as robust as other providers, and with the disease scare they had recently (that they didn't alert others to until they were called on it!) I won't purchase from them ever again.

Here are the two that get A+++++ in my books.
Layne Labs Snake Food, Reptile Food, Feed Carnivores, Birds of Prey : Layne Labs.com
Loxahatchee rodents Loxahatchee Rodents, E-commerce site

The rodent's are robust, along with packaged neatly, aligned side by side on trays. Some of the mice have been tossed in a large bag minus the tray, but they are not mangled together....they almost look like they fell asleep and had their legs tucked into their sides , lol. No disgusting odors, clean, prompt, good pricing. If you are on the west coast, or in that region, I'd recommend Layne Labs, and Loxahatchee for the east coast. Shipping kills if you're ordering large shipments across the country....

Hope this helps!

I will challenge your description of rp and post pics of their packaging tomorrow.

That being said I am very interested in Loxahatchee.
