Hmm, looks you are right. I swear I've seen "Arctic Mice" elsewhere but maybe the packages just looked similar from a distance. I don't look at Petco frozen feeders the rare times I go there. Thanks for the correction.

I still prefer getting my frozen stuff from the local shop for cost reasons.

Might be a regional thing, the local Petco here stocks Arctic Mice and I believe the mom n pop store gets Mice on Ice, or at least that sounds similar to what they have. I've only bought from the mom n pop store once. But I bought mice from Petco for about a year and am sure on what brand our local store has. Our town is small enough that we don't have a Petsmart and only got a Petco in the last five or six years.

Good to know I wasn't going crazy!

The Arctic mice are the one kind of feeder my corn has ever refused when not in blue. She actually had one in her mouth, dropped it, and fled once-I assume it tasted really, really bad to her. With one snake, shipping just wasn't worth it, but I discovered I could buy mice at expos, and, later, connected with a university lab that orders several times a year that I could piggy back on for the snakes-especially helpful once we got a BP, because the mark-up on rats is insane.

I know one person locally who has a Burmese python, and he says that buying organic, grain-fed, farm raised chickens locally is cheaper than getting frozen rabbits for his snake-and the burm likes them better (apparently his snake also refuses supermarket chicken).

I use mice direct and we've been very happy with them, and outstanding customer service. The dry ice is really fun to play with too..

I just ordered from Big Cheese. They're running a special right now - a flat $25 shipping fee, which makes it worthwhile for me to buy feeders for one snake.
