My wife really likes the quality of the pictures from my Canon 60D (a DSLR) but HATES the size and weight of it. She also has expressed her displeasure with the lack of quick focusing from her P&S as well as the lower quality pictures in low light. I'd like to get her something better, but there really aren't many options and none that would address all of her needs. Well, until now...

The topic of frozen rodent vendors comes up quite frequently within our community, and for good reason! The saying “you are what you eat” rings true for reptiles too!

Of the various online vendors of frozen rodents, there are a few that are more well known than others. Names such as The Mouse Factory (which is who I use), Mice Direct, Big Cheese, and Rodent Pro seem to be the largest and most well known. This blog is about my (negative) experience with Rodent Pro.

It received some excellent responses as well as some verification from those who track their expenditures that the costs were "right on the money". So, I decided to archive it (with some updating/editing) here in my blog for future reference. Enjoy!
