Sorry,that the place in Fl. I'll look them up myself and see what deals they offer.

I placed a Rodent Pro order a few months ago and received very nice, clean mice and rats that were the correct size. There's going to be some slight variation from any vendor- you can't get all the animals to the exact same size/weight, but I found RP to be pretty consistent, especially for the money.

And thawing it out may give you a better view, but it really does not make any difference. Look at the mouse and the tape. Does anyone think this is a LARGE ADULT? I don't.

they advertise large adult mice as 2.5"-3" in length; it looks to be about that size to me.
I have been using them for the past few years now without issue. The sizes do vary but always within the range they advertize.
My last rat fuzzies were a bit small so I requested they send larger ones on my current order (I will update when it arrives); other RP customers have mentioned that they are good about these sorts of size requests.
Overall customer feedback points towards great customer service so you may just try calling them and trying to work things out if you are not happy.

I have never had a problem with Rodent Pro. The shipping is quick, the packaging is great and at least for rats they're appropriately sized.

I can only speak about the rats from Rodent Pro. I have never had an issue. 30 bucks flat rate shipping as of this week. I just placed an order for 50(20 small, 20 medium, 10 large). $81 total. I don't know how this compares to other companies on the internet but it saves me hundreds from buying at the local Petco. The jumbos from Petco are size equivalent to the large I get from Rodent Pro.

I'd compare weights rather than length. That's how they sort the rodents.

Addenum: They do advertise specific length parameters for each size but like buying hamburger or steak it makes sense to pay for weight rather than length.

I know all about it myself. It's been handled and fixed. They are no different than the meat companies recalling products,and we all still buy those brands after the recall.

Average length equals average weights. In most cases.

I actually placed an order in May 2012 with Rodent Pro during the time of the outbreak. I had ordered over $100 in mice. When I found out about the outbreak from a local poster here on Fauna (and not from Rodent Pro themselves), I called up Rodent Pro and asked for a refund since I needed to replace my feeders. They denied a refund. I tossed the mice anyway (because I'm picky about what I feed my snakes) and took my business elsewhere. The fact that I was nor informed of the disease by the company itself and then not given a refund made me one very unhappy customer. That was my first and last time using Rodent Pro.
