Anyone use Layne Labs?

Wow, compare them to rodent pro. I think they cost more at that lab place. I have to run or I would check them against rp myself.
 
I just did buy from Layne Laboratories. It was my first purchase of pinkies for my first cornsnake. Bought 50 one-day-old pinkies, packaged 25 apiece. Don't know if I'm supposed to get specific on prices because I'm new here but the unit price of the 50 was 35 cents each with the shipping charge for delivery by FedEx with dry ice in a large box came to $28.80 for a total of $46.30 with no tax. The pinkies were still frozen when I uncrated them. I tried my snake on one the next morning and it was scarfed down in a few minutes, so I'm grateful for this regardless of whether I may have saved a few bucks elsewhere and received not-so-good mice. But what do I know? I'm a real newbie in the cornsnake department. Hope this info helps you, though.
 
I have bought from Layne Labs before. their mice are good, and their shipping is much better than any other company that I have found so far. their mice cost more than some of the cheaper places though,

I have not had any issues with the mice I got at rodentpro. Not sure I would buy from a LAB. Who knows what those mice went through during life. I mean come on, its a LAB.
 
lol...I'd immagine thats a name. They probably produce rodents for lab testing as well...I didnt poke around the website too much though. Looks like a pretty well run spot.
 
Will have to check them out. I've been looking at rodentpro, but the smallest bag they have is 100, and that's just too many mice of any one size, as I have only the one snake. But all the other places I've seen had such higher prices that I would spend almost as much on 50 pinks there as I would 100 pinks at rodentpro.

Hopefully Layne has the balance of cost and quantity I need.

That's what the website says. And there shipping is amazingly cheaper then all the other places I've priced out. More for the mice Less all around. I'm So putting in an order and seeing how my no-legged kids like them :)
 
Interesting. I just read about them in Reptiles. Never heard of them before. I wonder if stress-free mice are like free-range hens.
 
I bet they've got little mousey spa's...How does one get a job giving relaxing massages to mice? I bet thats something you go to vet school for...
 
Sales pitch. Come on you think a place would say "bulk raised in large bins pulled as ordered"? I never trust what I see on a website. I go by referals. No one has heard of these folks so . . . I will let you guys be the proverbial guinea pigs and see how you all like them. :shrugs:

How're you going to know unless you find out?

I'm with Crimson Dawn. The American Way is to give someone a second chance. But some of us don't ever give a first chance. And how you going to find out -- about anything -- unless you take a shot once in a while ? I bought my first pinkie mice from Layne Laboratories because I liked their website. Then I liked what the person I talked to on the phone told me. Then I was grateful because my little guy, who hadn't eaten for a couple of weeks after I got him, scarfed down his first pinkie from Layne Labs. What do I know, though, I'm a total Newbie, and for me, as that old quote goes, "In the Kingdom of the Blind, the one-eyed man is king." I'm thankful for all the voices of experience out there willing to give their advice about our common addiction.
 
I just got an order from Layne labs and was very happy. The snakes didn't complain either. They slurped them right up. Yum

Rodent Pro pulls the orders after their placed. It says on their website that they keep very little frozen, in stock, which is why it can take a week to a week and a half before they process the orders.

Maybe no one has heard of them because they haven't targeted consumers like us.

I'm all for giving them a chance.
 
Interesting about timing--just logged on to, among other things, order my first batch of fuzzies for my two corns now that they've just about gone through the first batch of pinkies I ordered for them from Layne Labs a couple of months ago. I don't know, maybe Carnivorouszoo was right when he wrote "sales pitch" about what CrimsonDawn posted from Layne Labs about its products. I just know you gotta trust someone. ("Who you gonna trust? Ghostbusters?") My corns have eaten all but four of the 50 pinkies I bought and they're healthy and growing (my corns, not the pinkies), remaining sweet, serene and tranquil. So maybe someone at Layne Labs reads to the ill-fated mice from Eckhart Tolle's teachings on just before they're frozen. Bye for now, I need to place my order for fuzzies and see no reason not to do it with Layne Labs.
 
I talked to them at Super Show San Diego, liked what I saw and heard.
I ordered from them for a fraction of the shipping cost from other
suppliers, the mice were in great shape and were still frozen solid.
I wont hesitate to order from them anytime.
 
Wow! With their shipping prices...I think I've just found a new mouse supplier!!
 
I just did a price comparison.

I Picked

100 day old pinks
100 Hoppers
100 Sm Mice

LayneLabs = $154.14
Rodentpro= $134.88
