Default frozen rodents around Manchester

Does anyone know of anyone that does frozen rodents for pick up around Manchester? Or recommend someone with stock who delivers at decent prices?

My lot are on a eating mission and the guy i normally use didnt tell me he was away for a couple of weeks.

I emailed a couple of the well known delivery sellers last night and was quite surprised to find no replies when i got home from work just now.

Maybe best to give them a call

I'd also recommend TSM. Simon is always really helpful whenever I start asking for specific sizes e.g. Small small rats, big large weaners or mega jumbo mice.

Basically I make up a size and he always manages to sort it out!

Although I don't think they dispatch on Thursdays for Friday delivery, so may have to wait until Tuesday.

Whereabouts in Manchester are you? I buy from Ian who runs the Owl Sanctuary at Worsley:

Wild Admin

His prices are in line with his supplier:

Buy Mice Online at Honeybrook Animal Foods -

But you don't need to buy large orders to get the discounts, buy from 1-as many as you want. He'll also order in special orders for you; i.e. pinkies (or jelly babies as he calls them). The birds don't eat them, but he will order them in for you. You will need to go over and collect them though, but then you can get to see his birds, which is always worth the visit.

No probs. He usually only has chicks and mice in. Anything else you need, he'll have to order. I usually grab 50 chicks for £2.75, even cheaper if you buy larger quantities...unfortunately, I don't have the room for a box of 1000
