Only ordered from BCRF once and was very happy with product.
Rodent Pro and I think American Rodent Co. had stands at the Columbus show.
The American Rodent mice looked very clean. I picked quite a few up. Will check out both vendors again this weekend. However, online order quality may be very different than quality sold at a show.
Have also purchased PetCo feeders and from other local shops when in a crunch.
use hot water and a plastic baggie which is sometimes stinky or bloody.even encourage my snakes to constrict and never had exploding mice.

I have seen others say the same thing about drying. I thaw in water too. Then I just throw the wet mouse in the feeding container, add hungry snake, leave for a few, and the mouse disappears. Why bother drying, it seems to work just as well with a damp mouse?Jimmy Johnson said:

Please let us know the quality when you get them. I used American Rodent but I picked them up at the Philly show last month. They were very good. No smell, feces, wood chips....Very clean!
I am kinda curious what they look like shipped.

the few times I've order from RodentPro I was surprised how "overpacked" the boxes were...Very well done each time with zero loss as far as rats/mice go...Just my experience with them; tf you could give a response on your experience (good/bad) on FaunaClassifieds BOI when your order arrives, it'd be appreciated by all...peace

American Rodent
Not bad. they came in ziplock bags instead of vacumm sealed. There was a small amount of feces, no woodchips, and no smell. A few of the mice were bent all sorts of ways as if they were frozen all together. I dont know whether they were or not, so dont hold me to that.
Customer service was great. I had to call about an email that i thought they had not sent, but it was my account's fault, so no problems there. We confirmed everything on the phone and they arrived right on time. The box was very well insulated and with dry ice. There was no problem whatsoever with mice thawing on the trip. Sizes were accurate as described, but the pinkies were a little larger than what i had expected....but still fit criteria. Also, ordering on the internet was as easy as it could be.
Overall i'd give American Rodent an A-.
I would have like to seen Vacumm sealed bags and the mice weren't as smushed up as they are. I'm going to give Big Cheese a try on my next order, just to compare. Unless they are superior in all aspects, then American Rodent will have gained fulltime customer.

Big Cheese is good
I have ordered from Big Cheese Rodents several times, and was wholly satisfied. The boxes they ship the mice in are heavily insulated and have enough dry ice to go across the states without thawing. The mice are vaccum packed and look plump and healthy. Sometimes there is wood chips in the packages but no blood or feces. Delivery is also prompt.

I never have...and although some people have, presumpuously, had good success with them (they ARE mentioned in Kathy Love's book), I will not feed my snakes anything but whole foods. I just cannot trust what is (or is NOT) in a prepackaged prepared food source.
Just like the freeze dried insects and the various canned lizard food. Better off feeding them whole food...at least you KNOW that they are getting what they should.

I just got my order in from BCRF. I am very pleased with my order (50 rat pinks). I do have a question though. How do I safely dispose of the dry ice? It does not melt under hot water like regular ice and I don't want to put it outside for fear of one of the kids or dogs coming in contact with it. What do you guys do?
Thanks!
Thanks!

"Got R Did"
This is probably a little late, starwarsdad. But I just set it outside and let it discipate. May take awhile in cold weather though.
I wouldn't however reccomend running warm water over it. You whole house will fill with the stuff...lol
Maybe set it in a garage or shed if you got one. I see your concern with the kids and other pets.
If all else fails...take it to the closest dumpster and toss 'er in.
