I've been getting mine from here: http://www.falconrymart.co.uk/#/raptor-reptile-food/4558955862
They dont deliver, but the food is nice and chunky (not like some scrawny things i've had in the past lol!) and they are pretty cheap! Good if you are anywhere near Bolton |

Not worth buy food online unless your have like 5 snakes+ really I found because of postage and the fact they shoudl only really stay in your freezer for 3-6 months, unless your buying with other stuff? |

Good thread Stapey.
I've used TSM a couple of times,had no issues and the snakes seem happy with what they got. I look about each time though as what you're ordering can affect whether one retailer is cheaper than another. Up to now they've worked out the cheapest for me. |

I used to use frozen direct. They are good pricewise and with delivery but the last couple of times I have ordered from them I have been very disapointed with the sizes of the mice they sent out. eg I ordered a batch of fuzzies but alot I had to give to a friend as pinkies as they were only a few grams although they were furry like fuzzies. I also ordered a load of large mice and quite a few were more in the weight range of mediums. I expect some to be out of the average weight range but when it seems the majority are then I get brassed off, especially when I am then having to go and buy more large mice from my local rep shop at double the price. |

I thought about using frozen direct as they are cheaper than TSM for the amount of mice I order but RSR is cheaper every time and my deliveries are always come really early in the morning. I didn't pay for before 12 or 1 or anything and got my orders at 7. I also don't like the idea of ordering buy phone on TSM, as you can't do it online :/ Mort, do you get the extra dry ice option with TSM as I wonder if you ever really need it or not? |

They recommended I have the dry ice option. Weird thing is,both times I've totalled the price of the mice and delivery up not counting the dry ice option and its turned out cheaper than my total with the dry ice added (not that I'm complaining!) I've never ordered without so I can't compare,but the mice arrived more frozen than if I'd got them from the shop 5 minutes drive away so I'm happy,plus the kids get to watch the dry ice evaporating in the garden.....they think its amazing lol. |

I got my frozen food today from RSR, they posted it at 2pm yesterday, arrived today at 10am and I didn't even pay for special delivery, just the cheap £5.99 one, came all frozen and stayed frozen until 5pm, probably would have stayed frozen longer but had to move them into freezer, comes already with dry ice so need to pay for extra :P my order just came cheaper than it would with TSM this time round. |

I always use http://rsreptilesupplies.co.uk/. Never had a problem.
Mamma, taken this from their site. It might help.
