Some people talk badly about bigger companies like UR and LLL, and yes I get you should support the small time breeders, which I do, but I have order over a dozen animals from UR and they were all beautiful, healthy, and are thriving! The customer service was stellar and everyone was so friendly and helpful and really cared about the animals well-being, calling and checking in to make sure it was OK. LLL is superb as well... I have ordered from LLL dozens and dozens of times, including a bunch of different animals, supplies, Vision cages... Out of those dozens and dozens of times (probably well over 25-30 orders from them) I have NEVER had a single complaint to them. Their customer service is excellent, the animals are super healthy and beautiful.
If anyone ever tries to discredit a company simply for being "bigger" I don't really think that's fair or relevant... In fact, I see it as the opposite, meaning there's a reason why they are now a big company: It's b/c they do things right.
