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.

Anyone get bad mice from big cheese rodents?
I don't know where this belongs for sure. Sorry if this is the wrong place.
Anyway, I bought a few bags of mice-small pinkies, fuzzies, and some bigger ones about 3 or so weeks ago. Not sure exactly, but I have had frozen mice from other companies that weren't bad and never rotted, and did not go bad in around a month. In fact, I had mice that lasted well over a year when I bought enough for the entire year (Those were from RodentPro)
My freezer keeps things frozen very well, but when I went to thaw out several of the bigger mice They all appeared to have black skin and some of them were slimy and the skin was beginning to sepaprate. That would be considered rotting, right? One of my corns went off feed at about the time of this shipment and I am wondering if I just need to trash the whole order and call the company. Expecting the mice to last longer than this isn't unreasonable is it?

When did this occur? I was planning on going to Big Cheese on Friday to pick up a few packages of mice.

So is expecting frozen mice to last longer than that unreasonable? I didn't think so, and I like to buy in bulk so I don't run out.

I would definitely call BIg Cheese and let them know. My guess is they will offer compensation of some sort. My experiences have always been good with them.

No...not at all unreasonable. I keep rodents frozen for 6-9 months without a problem. It sounds like you got some that maybe thawed and were refrozen after being at room temp far too long.

I have ordered from Big Cheese since the company started, and have never had any sort of experience with their mice like you have described. Their feeders are of the highest quality.
How come you simply did not not call Big Cheese to report this to them? Why make a post on the BOI first?
Taking pics of your rodents, emailing the pics to them, and following up with a phone call would have been a course of action that may have had them help rectify the situation.
