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.

I usually use The Mouse Factory, but they're having supply problems with some mouse sizes. My last order was with American Rodent Supply. Brian was a pleasure to deal with, and I was happy with my order. The snakes didn't seem to notice the difference either...

I ordered from them once - and I doubt it'll be twice. The sizes were VERY variable. The average size on adult mice was within the range of weanling mice, small adult mice contained 9 gram mice (that is not a typo), etc. To say I was displeased would be an understatement. I don't even check their website when I need rodents any longer. i did get a partial refund without much hassle, but I still had a couple thousand mice in the wrong sizes that needed to be "graded" EACH time I fed my snakes.....and I had to place an order immediately with another company that packaged things according o listed sizes. We also got the wrong quantity, but that was refunded immediately. There was NOTHING to really complain about on that mistake.
What got me the most angered was that when we complained about the size problem, we were told "yeah, you can't really trust the sizes written on the bag." Maybe he meant "quantity" written on the bag? I don't know, but either statement is a little horrifying.
The quality was par (better than rodent pro on packaging, rather equal to mice direct, and NOT as good as bigcheese), so I would have ordered from them again. I can't, though, because I NEED to know the size of a rodent BEFORE I defrost it - and I need to know the quantity of certain sizes I have in the freezer. Those bags were guess work on what was really in them, and that just doesn't work here.

That's strange. I've always gotten a phone call from Brian telling me when it shipped, and when it should arrive. Granted, the greyhound service is best for me, so that's the method I use, but he has called me each time.
I don't doubt you, but my experience is just the opposite so far. My next order is on the way soon. I'm sure it will be satisfactory.

Just did another order with RodentPro - first time using Greyhound (too many rodents for UPS)
Got both an e-mail and phone call letting my know they had shipped.
While they arrived just fine - I probably will just pay the extra money to do multiple UPS boxes next time. Nothing to do with RodentPro - everything to do with Greyhound.
The arrival time at Greyhound was 2:00. Unfortunately, my local Greyhound closes at 2:30 and doesn't open again until evening - so if I called ahead, they would have been closed by the time I got there. So I went in at 2:00. The package did not come in.
It did come in on the Bus that arrives at 11:30 PM - but again, Greyhound closes at night shortly after that Bus arrives - so I had to wait until morning to go get them.
They were well packed, two boxes inside one bigger box. The bottom box still had plenty of dry ice - the top box, one of the dry ice slabs had completely vanished and the second was close to vanishing, so while the mice in that box were still frozen, it was close. Not worth the few bucks I saved to risk delivery of a thawed mess, especially with the hassles of local Greyhound hours of operation.

I gave American Rodent a try and few weeks ago. The online ordering and automated email system was very effective. I did not have to speak to anyone to know my package was coming. It shipped out Monday like the website terms said it would and arrived the next day! Very fast turn around. All the mice and chicks came in completely frozen, correct count, no broken limbs and uniform in size. I am very pleased with my transaction with ARS. I fall under the free shipping area so I saved a ton. I will definitely be ordering from them again!
