I love my rodent connection
I'd never dream of adding breeding smelly rodents to the list of stuff I already do (I'd really have to move them out of the house)
and even though I'm not terribly squeamish, I was grossed out the last time I got frozen rodents somewhere else and they came complete with fecal matter smeared on their butts and even bedding crud
when I went to look at rodents at the last expo I went to the also looked dirty to me
I must be totally spoiled
and Edna totally rocks (my supplier)
so I've got a couple of other people I order for and I just got myself a "like new" little chest freezer that's only previously been used to store breast milk (so appropriate)
Edna says that I can store them for longer in a chest freezer
so that all cuts down on shipping

after reading Stefan's post, I'm realizing just how fortunate I am
the last batch I got was less than $0.35 per rodent and that wasn't even a huge order - just 300 mice
