Well I've been going to my local shop every Sunday to get prey. But now it's becoming a chore. I do enjoy going in, but I seem to spend more than I intended. So thought I'd try out ordering online.

Only thing is I have no idea how they package the prey and how quickly they come and the best supplier.

Any suggestions appreciated folks

I use TSM Pet Supplies, the postage is dearer especially if you add dry ice, however the mice are cheaper, so if you buy in bulk. Posted next day within a polystyrene box, arrives completely frozen.

Frozen Reptile would probs be better for you, as you wouldn't want to buy as much at once.

I use livefoods.co.uk. I have used RSreptiles and Frozen Reptile in the past and wasn't happy with the service. Both promised next day delivery and good quality mice, neither met my expectations. Livefoods send mice in MAP packaging so even if they defrost they don't spoil. Postage is a little pricey though.

TSM was the best deal I found for bulk. Their ex-breeders are HUGE. The large mice are 30+gram. Great quality mice, rats and rat pups & fuzzies
I chose them because they make the effort to match any weight requirements.

Small orders will always seem expensive with courier charge on top when ever you order online.
