    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Mice Direct

I tried a few times. You need to send them the order info to get a total but they never responded.
I gave up and stuck with RodenPro.
 
yes, recently...

they recently had a sale on rats and i ordered several hundred. $0.50 for weaned rats -- good deal, however, they were the size of most suppliers' rat pups and i thought they seemed underweight.

otherwise good service, came quickly, and all arrived frozen.

I just got an order recently and everything was perfect. 100 weaned rats and 100 small rats and all in perfect condition and at the best prices I have found!
 
I just received an order from them last week...

They had a sale on medium rats, so I ordered a few hundred of them. They came UPS 3 day ground and were very well packed and still frozen solid. The size of the rats were consistant and they looked good. Customer service was great! They had a problem with the shipping costs being a lot more than what I was originally quoted, so we split the additional cost. Other than the high shipping costs (the order was over 200 lbs), I'm very pleased with the quality of the rodents. Now, if they vacuum packed everything, it would be even better!

I've been using Big Cheese but decided to try Mice Direct because their sale prices make the rodent cost very competitive. Big Cheese vacuum packs and puts the rodents on trays, Mice Direct puts them in bags and squishes out the air manually. I have had no freezer burn so far and my order was sent out promptly. Mice Direct is always running some sort of sale, it seems, so they are doing their best to be competitive, in a competitive market.
 
I purchased several hundred weaned rats recently, during their sale. The box was misplaced by UPS and trying to get an answer from UPS was sorry. Well Mice Direct was very responsive and followed up with me to make sure I was satisfied with the order. The rats were frozen solid even thou it was shipped 3 day ground. There was even some dry ice still in the box. They packed the rats very well and I am satisfied with the product.

I switch back and forth from Rodent Pro to Mice Direct depending on who is out of the least number of products that I need. Mice Direct is VERY responsive and sincere about making sure you're happy with your order. I would like to use them more, but they are always out of stuff....

We have done a few orders with mice direct. We always receive the rodents right on time, frozen and great quality. We also place the order on line without any problems. They also have the best prices around. $0.08 per pink you cant go wrong. I would reccomend them to anyone. :D


J&J Reptiles :dgrin:
 
I'm amazed that people are still buying RP product. I'm a firm believer that with feeders, you totally get what you pay for.
 
Mice Direct (Good Guys)

I placed my first order with Mice Direct about a month ago...prices were great...order came quickly and was packaged very well...happy with the sizing of mice...couldn't ask for much more...definitely will be a return customer! Have used Rodent Pro before and no real difference in product as far as I could see...plus MD's pricing is much lower especially for sale items and I got a much better price on shipping!
 
well

i hate to be a killjoy :blowup: ,but i ordered from them, i got dirty rats and very poor packing that resulted in half my shipment being defrosted. prices were/are great A+,,, shipping price is rediculous C-,,, comunication C+,, quality of product B- ,,, packaging C-. it was my first order and had substatutions which is no real big deal as the numbers worked out in my favor, i have emailed them about my dissapointment, and will see what comes of it. i dont expect a refund as the fact is i have the feeders and will feed them, but as much as they advertise themselves as "the" feeder company i personally expected ALOT more.

Good and bad here. There product was frozen and shipping was great. However, their fuzzies are more like hoppers. And some of the adult mice were full of worms. The vet assured me that the worms would not affect my snakes, but it did cause them to regurge. Also found that several of the bags had cuts in them. Customer service was great though.
 
Well, I just placed my normal monthly order with them instead of Rodent Pro this time. Hopefully I didn't just blow a couple hundred dollars on bad feeders.

I have always been happy with Rodent Pro and this will be the "test" order with Mice Direct.

Let's hope the feeders were worth the order.

I have been using rodent pro for years and have never gotten anything but quality feeders from them. I had one order in the past 5 years where the rat pups were smaller than I advertised. They immediately sent me new larger ones free of charge and said to keep the smaller ones.

Never had a problem.

Let's see how Mice Direct does.
 
I've been using Mice Direct for a while now. Just got a shipment of 1,700 mice and they were perfect. The prices are the best because they breed their own mice. Unlike other sources who have more overhead because they buy from many different labs. At least you don't have to worry about buying mice and rats with stitches and staples still in place. :thumbsup:

I considered Rodent Pro but their shipping is horribly expensive to me. I liked that Mice Direct sent 3 day ground so their shipping was relatively inexpensive, and even in the Texas heat the mice and rats were froze solid.
 
I have to amend my positive review of Mice Direct to including the following:

The weaned and small rats are extremely small. I am going to contact them about it but it seems that the smalls they sent are what everyone else considers weans.
 
Oh man Jamie.
Not what I wanted to hear. Can you still use the feeders or are they just too small?


Here is how my order is going. :NoNo:

Order Number: 464
Date Ordered: Monday 11 September, 2006
Thank you for your order! The order is scheduled for shipment on Monday, Sept. 18th and according to UPS, should be delivered on Thursday. If you have additional questions, please let me know. We hope to remain your long-term supplier.

Sincerely,

It's going to take a week to actually ship the order and then it will be in transit for 4 days.
This is slower than when I order from Rodent Pro.
I hope they are still frozen and good quality.:ack2:
