Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Disappointed with Big Cheese rodents?
For years I used rodent pro and not 1 issue. I stopped buying when they had that outbreak of something and bred my own for 2 years. I also used JPC boas since he was a few hrs away. Both places were good.
I recently bought 50 fuzzy hoppers from Big Cheese. Totally disappointed when I took out my first hopper to thaw for a baby boa. It weighed 4.1 grams and should have been 7 grams min I believe. Next week I took another out and once again, way light at 5.3 grams. I decided to take out all and weigh individually. 30 were underweight. Several at 6.5 grams and I would not complain to them. But I found 3.9 gram ones and many between 4-5 grams.
Is this common to sell so many underweight rodents? Out of 50, only a few were actually over 9 grams. Hoppers from them are 7-12 grams I believe.
I did up send pics on a scale and a count of underweights. They said they will send me more when I reorder and not sure I will buy from them again.
Trust is earned, not given. And so many underweights shows workers are not too worried. You can tell the difference between a 4 gram and a 7 gram pretty easily.
So why so many under!
Disappointed with big cheese.

Hey Rich that does suck that they can't hit a average weight of what u wanted. I feel most of the older rodent outfits just don't care anymore cause there is such a boom with new buyers. In the last 10yrs I've tried many different outfits & with very little success. Most recent was cold Blooded Cafe. Last batch I got from them had a rotten smell like they sat to long before being put in the freezer. When I contacted thm & told them my disappointment they offered me $5 credit towards next purchase. WTF! my order was close to $500 & tht was not the first time I ordered. They said thts all they can offer with the influx of orders. Not a great business model. Curious If it would have been different if forest was still arnd. Either way it sucks. Now I completely breed my own & sell.
I'm in pa. If ur interested send me a message.
Have a good one
