Hey guys I was just wondering if you bought frozen mice online where did you get them and how much? The prices are super cheap but the shipping is killer. I have about 40 fuzzies (a buddy that bred them gave them to me) and they should last me until my tegu starts eating large hoppers/adults. I'm currently feeding him a fuzzy every other day with turkey or scrambled eggs (and turkey or eggs every day with vitamins or cod liver oil every other day, and will be getting some liver next time I go to the store hehe). Thanks in advance guys.

I just ordered from American Rodent last week. The order was shipped out today as planned and should arrive by weds. I will let you know how it went. They offer free shipping in certain areas in which my state fell under. The final price I received blew all other feeder companies out of the water for the same amount of product, in some case less product.. If I am satisfied with the product I will most likely stay with them.
I have used Rodent Pro in the past. The transaction went smoothly but there was alot of broken off mouse limbs, some bedding and feces in the bags. They have a hefty shipping charge as well.

1-3 day old chicks weigh around 30-35 grams.

Hmmm... So (2) of them would be about the same as a small rat. And cost less than 1/2. Would be good as another protein source. I already feed rodents, tilapia and ground turkey, rotated every other day. We need a bigger freezer!PuffDragon said:

My shipment just came in this morning. Everything went smooth and I received a tracking number last Monday which let me know when my package was going to arrive. The order count was correct and overall I was satisfied. No broken limbs and the mice look good. 1 bag out of 7 had some debris and what looks like frozen pee? I was a little disappointed in that but it's not the end of the world. The chicks are big! I probably am going to have to wait til after hibernation to start feeding them. To chalk things up..with the price and free shipping I will most likely order from them again.

Sounds great!!
We're just out of range for the free shipping. Did you pay the $15 packing fee?
Any idea what the nutritional content of a chick vs. a rat is??
