Rodent Suppliers Compared

Here is a little spreadsheet I put together comparing rodent suppliers. This is for medium rats.

Re: Rodent Suppliers Compared

Sweet. We needed something like that. The only problem is the shipping part; the costs greatly depend on the location of the customer. The rates for RodentPro are much higher in my zip-code and even higher (about 50%) for Ssjsmits' zip. We compared notes a few months ago. The weight of the rodent is really the primary difference between companies prior to shipping. These companies don't have anything to do with the shipping costs.

I love the organization of your table. It's a breath of fresh air to see the companies sie-by-side!

Re: Rodent Suppliers Compared

Yes, the shipping is really the only thing I cant control for. All of the shipping costs are to Louisiana, zip 70118.

I can replicate this table for any rodent size. Please let me know if I left out any suppliers.

Re: Rodent Suppliers Compared

Yeah, I'm a nerd too lol I built a multitab excel sheet comparing the different dealers. It makes life alot easier since different suppliers may be cheaper depending on what you are ordering.

Re: Rodent Suppliers Compared

Here I added another column. Total mass of rats. This gives you an idea of exactly how much rodent you are getting for your money.
