Best and Worst Feeder Mice and Rat Companies for Pet Snakes

Today, I review six frozen feeder rodent companies I've purchased from including Perfect Prey, Big Cheese Rodent Factory, Underground Reptiles, FeederSource, Arctic Mice (at PetSmart) and Gourmet Rodent (at Petco). I go over them least favorite to favorite. Here's a run-down if you want to save time!

Last choice: FeederSource.com

FeederSource is very consistent with their products. Unfortunately, they're consistently bad. A lack of customer support with no phone number, no active social media, and the worst email support line I've seen from a reptile company aren't welcoming. Their rodents smell, are very oddly packaged and are extremely expensive. I personally think they're only in business because they have a monopoly with reptile shows where nobody else is allowed to sell frozen rodents except them.

Second to last: Arctic Mice & Gourmet Rodent

These are the brands Petco and PetSmart sell. They come in small quantities and are extremely expensive. This may be ideal for those of you who want just a couple rodents in your freezer with not too many reptiles to feed. The rodents don't smell perfect, but the packaging is good and they generally look healthy to feed.

Down the middle: UndergroundReptiles.com

Underground Reptiles's packaging and product were great - in fact, I have no issues with their frozen rodents! They were scent-free and high quality. My reason for putting them third is because I don't personally support all their business practices including bulk/wholesale reptile sales, the sale of imported and field collected reptiles, and their concerning high rate of poor reviews online. However, I can't complain about their rodents.

Second favorite: BigCheeseRodents.com

Big Cheese Rodent Factory sells extremely high quality products with no issues whatsoever. I have no complaints, except for the fact that they're seemingly always out of stock of what I need. Shipping is super cheap and their site is quite nice! If they kept their stock numbers higher, they'd likely be #1 on my list.

Favorite: PerfectPrey.com

Perfect Prey has been my go-to for a while. Their consistency is unmatched and their packaging is professional and very effective. Shipping is fast and affordable when buying in bulk. Their rodents never have smell, they're always the right size, and the mice and rats themselves are always packed perfectly with exact quantities and no unhealthy rodents. The only reason I don't always buy from Perfect Prey is if they're out of an item I need, but this is rare. Super happy with them!
