This is the only potty trained snake that we know of. She is a member of the Thomas family from Irvine, California. She hasn't pooped inside in over two years. Every week, they take her for a crawl in the park... and after about a half hour, she does her business. She's much too ladylike to soil her cage.

Here is a different kind of Customer. His name is "Hurricane" Bob Dudek and spend his time rehabilitating injured birds out of East Hampton, Connecticut. What makes Bob particularly impressive is that he is doing all this great work, and is blind.

A lot of his bird are bird of prey and like your snakes and lizards, also like to eat mice-cicles and rat-cicles. Being a non-for-profit organization they depend on the generosity of others for everything. So, if you would like to find out more about Hurricane Bob and his organization you can write to him or call him at:

2 Staeth Road East Hampton, Connecticut 06424 or give him a call at (860) 267-6382 or if you want to make a donation of rats or mice we can just ad it to the price of your order and would be doing a really nice thing for Bob.

California: Lovick Thomas, of Irvine, CA would recommend me to a friend, he says
"Ratcicles were Excellent, likes the superior packaging with a 2-3 year shelf life, friendly service and free 800#."

"I like the personal service & humor. One Time during a shortage I got my Jumbo order exchanged or a "Large" size at your request. I thought the size looked more like "Med". - But the last order of Jumbos are really good sized, so I'm not steamed- we all get in a bind sometime." - John from Yorba Linda, Ca. John likes my friendly service and the appearance of the product, and considers our strong points to be the 2-3 year shelf life and the fact that there are no refrigerator odors.

Sandy Frost, of San Diego, CA "I'm very pleased with the pinkies for my snakes. The cryovacTM insures long shelf life, the packing of the mice is super. My snakes are glowing with health, thanks to your well fed mice."

Colorado: D. Bohe - Buena Vista, CO "I tried a place in Colorado, but was nat as pleased as with your service, and I didn't save any money on whipping with them, either. Yes, I plan to reorder, because of the quality grain fed, healthly mice and rats, and the 2-3 year shelf life.
Connecticut: "I just wanted you to know that I just got my order, defrosted 2 mice and 2 pinkies and have never seen my snakes eat so quickly! This was a very pleasant ordering experience. Joe, you have a wonderful sense of humor! I will recommend you to everyone that I know. Thank you very much! -- Kim from Plantsville, CT.

R. Kovacic - East Lyme, CT "I bought Mice-ciclesª, they were less than I had been paying. The size of the mice was what I expected, and the appearance of the product was excellent. I found the service to be friendly, and my phone calls were returned promptly. I plan to reorder, but it will take me a year, or more to use up what I bought."
Florida: Annie P. of Key West Florida. Annie is an exotic dancer. Although her snake loved my rat-cicles, he was too big, and nasty to dance with, so she sold him. She would like a 3-6' rainbow boa with a good attitude, and no health problems. (I feel like a dating service.) She also liked my friendly service, and the fact that my mice & rats are grain feed. No sicko's for her.

"I have ordered from you once before and was delighted with the rodents. You really make them sound great, but I must confess that this is one of those rare cases when the product lives up to the hype!" -- Stewart, FL

Douglas Day, of Lake Alfred, FL. "In February of this year, I purchased for the first time an order of individually sealed frozen mice and rats from you. I have since been shopping around for prices and am now placing a second order with you. I contacted a company up North and they informed me their rats in zip locks were just as good as the Cryovac¨ animals that you sell. I asked them their shelf life and they informed me that they would last up to six months. Let me inform you that I still have some mice and rats in the freezer, from you, and they are just as good, now, as they were the day you shipped them to me!!!! They have been in my freezer for over a year. Thank you for selling a feed animal that is as good as the day you put it in the bag. I assure you I will continue to use you again and again. I also recommend you to anyone that I can.
Georgia: "My scaly babies call for, love them. Snakes that were picky eaters are not picky anymore. My baby Indigo snake weaned from fish to hoppers with your mice. I certainly would recommend you to a friend, as yours were less than I've been paying, and the quality of your grain fed, healthy Mice-ciclesª and Rat-ciclesª, is excellent. I also liked the friendly service and your strange telephone message." Kasper, Santa Maria, GA
Iowa: "I was extremely impressed with the quality of your mice-cicles. I plan to order rat-cicles next because my snakes have grown-just as soon as my mice-cicles are gone! I am very impressed with your genuine concern for your customers opinions! Thanks for caring!" -- Laura, Iowa City, Iowa
Illinois: "Joe - Thanks for the prompt service on my order. The 100 mice arrived timely and in good shape. Percy, my ball python, has been a real finicky eater in the past, often rejecting the frozen store bought mice I have on occasion purchased. But she adores the mice I bought from you, gulping them down like salted peanuts. Yesterday was the first she's eaten since September, and she ate five mice, so she must enjoy them. Thanks for providing such a quality product at such a reasonable price." - Jim & Percy, from Round Lake, IL.

Beverly Romo, Itasca, IL "I have a finicky Guana Red Tail Boa that just wouldn't eat the mice that I had bought in ziplock bags, but she loves our mice-ciclesª. They're not all wet from condensation."
Massachusets: "Your prompt & friendly service has kept me ordering. Once you replaced an order that got delayed 3 days in shipping and I appreciate that tremendously (Not having a lot of extra cash.). Thanks. Yes I plan to reorder and I would recommend you to my friends, because of the quality grain fed, healthy rat-ciclesª. Your long goofy telephone message, I love to hate it." Peg Cahill, Amherst, MA

Diane Mansfield, Boston, MA "I've tried everything, even snake sausages, but they like your mice-ciclesTM best.
Michigan: G. Nasiber - Daggett, MI "I bought Rat-ciclesª, the price is about right, with the better product & packaging. The size of the rats was good, and they looked great. I appreciated the friendly service, and love the long goofy phone message. The things that were important to me were the quality grain feed, healthy rats and the zero chance of freezer burn. Yes, I plan to reorder. Sure, I would recommend you to a friend, if I actually had any friends with reptiles. Most of my friends, they all think I'm wierd and slightly demented."
Missouri: Rhonda Seville - St James, MO "The Mice-ciclesª and Rat-ciclesª were more than what I had been paying, but the size of them was good, the appearance was excellent. I plan to reorder, and would recommend you to a friend, because of the 2-3 year shelf life, and the no refrigerator odors. Also, the service was friendly, you have an 800#, and I love your long, goofy phone message."
Nebraska: Jackie Kagle - Omaha, NE "Thanks, Joe. We have "babies." Pinkies are expensive and hard to find in local stores. Your Mice-ciclesTM were less than I've been paying. The quality was excellent, and I appreciated the fact that I could use my Visa Card. Yes, I love the long goofy message. Yes, I plan to reorder, and yes, I would recommend you to a friend."
New Jersey: Lisa Marie Post of Freehold, NJ "I bought the Mice-ciclesTM, and thought the price was about right, considering the better product, excellent appearance, and packaging.

Ohio: "Rats were somewhat smaller than I expected (half of them at least). Shipping cost makes them very prohibitive for me. The packaging and quality are excellent though." -- Dennis, Shreve, OH

"Although you provide an excellent product at a competitive price, the shipping costs are the problem. Realistically thepurchaser must add these to the total cost per rodent and this renders you uncompetive with local suppliers." John Mayer, North Royalton, OH. (Well, you sure can't please them all, bitch, bitch, bitch.) John also says that he liked the friendly service and the free 800-GET-RATS phone number. (Is this guy frugal?). In spite of complaining about the shipping costs, John did say that he would recommend me to a friend, because "the Mice-ciclesª and Rat-ciclesª were the best that he had ever seen," and he liked the Superior packaging, the 2-3 year shelf life, zero chance of freezer burn, and No refrigerator odors.
Oregon: Ken Harms of Redmond, OR, says "Although I am paying more than he has been paying for frozen mice & rats, I plans to reorder, and would recommend Joe to a friend, because the appearance of the product is excellent, and I like the idea that they are grain feed. He also appreciated the fact that phone calls were returned promptly, my free 800-GET-RATS number, and he even liked my long, goofy telephone message.
South Carolina: Paul Grigg, Jr., Blacksburg, SC "Happy is he who trusts in Jesus Christ." "You have a good product and I've had excellent results in our colony. I also like your newsletter on the back of the order form. Keep it up."
Tennessee: David Mann - Chattanouga, TN "Your mice-ciclesTM are so much better. The snake loves them. They look just like they were alive, just minutes ago."
Texas: "My female snake laid 28 eggs (first time bred) and after she shed from her laying, she ate 2-3 mice every other day. Your product was convenient for more and I fed her as much as she wanted. Without the handy supply, she would not be fully recovered as quickly." -- Shauna, Decatur, TX

Dino Ferri / Ellen Trout Zoo - Lufkin, TX "I buy the Cryovac¨ mice and rats because of the superior packaging and the 2-3 yer shelf life. I feel that the price is about right, considering the better product and packaging. The quality grain fed, healthy mice and rats are important to the health of our reptiles."
Washington: "I have found Joe Brant of MICE ON ICE to be trustworthy and honest. When he discovered that he inadvertently failed to enter my address apartment number into his computer - which caused my shipment of rats to thaw out in my apartment manager's office - he then arranged for a replacement shipment to be sent as soon as possible, free of charge" Mike Quinton, Federal Way, WA

"This was our first order for my son's 1st cornsnake. Cornflake - the cornsnake- is gobbling up the pinkies - that is great!7quot; -- Susan, Edmonds, WA
Wisconson: "The bottom line is that I want my snakes to have the best possible food. After trying many different suppliers of rats, I found yours to be far superior." -- Bill, Anro, WI
A New Pet... Ron & Carol Stack of Elkhart, Indiana are land lords. A 19 year old girl who rented an apartment from them was two weeks late on her rent, so they went into the apartment. It was full of trash, and she had left her large Red Tail Boa. The snake was covered with the worst case of mites that you can imagine, covered with them from tounge to tail. They had never even considered owning a snake, let alone, such a large one. But their lease said that whatever the tenants leave when they vacate the premisis, belongs to the land lord. So they said, "well we've got us a snake."

Friends told them to soak the snake in a solution of half Listerine, and half water for 15 minutes. It took several applications, but they got rid of the mites, and they love their new snake, and their snake loves our Rat-ciclesTM. I'll try to get pictures soon.

After years of ordering from other mouse and rat suppliers, I am extremely happy to have found Mice On Ice. The customer service, delivery, prices, and especially the product are all excellent! Sincerely, Cary Ward Here is a pic of my Oketee corn snake, Seminole.
