I’ve been in the reptile hobby for over 15 years, and consistency is everything. Big Cheese has never let me down. Every order shows up exactly how it should—clean, properly packaged, and ready to go. That kind of reliability is rare these days.
I have been purchasing from you for easily a couple of decades and still don't know where to go to share public reviews. I've only ever had the best quality mice at the best prices and my snakes have never once refused your F/T products. Thank you for being a consistent source of quality feeders over many years!!
This was the first time I have ordered from your company as well as ordering frozen mice/rats through the mail. I am so impressed with the shipment, packing, and the way the mice/rats are packaged. I have not opened them yet, but they appear to be very fresh. The Go Herping channel on Youtube highly recommended your company. I look forward to trying out your products on my milk snake and ball python. With the way you took such care in the packing of the rodents, as well as the packing/shipping, I am quite sure I will be very pleased. Thank you so much and have a wonderful afternoon.
I just want to extend my thanks!!! My feeder fuzzies arrived packaged well and beautifully frozen yesterday. My new ball python was on a month long hunger strike due to crappy pet store feeders, a traumatic last force feed by the pet store, adjusting to his new environment, managing a heat wave and shed... I served him your fuzzy last night and it was a big success! Way better quality food! Happy and full BP, and way less worried BP owner. Thank you!!!
Just got my order. Frozen solid. The mice look fantastic! I appreciate you working with me and being able to ship this week in time for my weekend feedings! Your competitors should take not to your practices and do the same. Ordering and having to wait several weeks before shipping is ridiculous!Anyways thanks a million… you have saved the week for my collection! I’ll be doing business with you again!
We received the mice last week and are very happy with them. Thanks a lot for making this so easy, and I’ll be happy to give you my business when we need feeders in the future.
I just had to stop in the middle of a feeding session to thank you. Just as food and water are the staples of human life, of course rodents are the sole foundation of my career. I have been impressed lately with the quality of your rodents. Not just lately, but all along. It just […]
