Thanks GP but I'm friends with someone who provides all the reptile stores as well as the Denver Zoo with feeders. Her name is Lynn Kubic and she runs boasandballs.com and her son runs willardsrodents. She has a HUGE barn full of rats and mice so I'm good but nice find for sure!
Now if we could only get our two to eat frozen/thawed :-\

Hey Coldblooded
My trick is to thaw the mice, then get them a little warm and that brings back the mouse scent usually. I usually thaw them in a small room, like bathroom and have a (portable) heater blowing in the direction of the mice for a couple hours, that way after they thaw, they are a little warm, room gets about 95 degrees!

I have hatched L. pyromelana and gotten all to eat. One trick that works is braining. Even thawed mice are more tantalizing if the head is slit and there is brain blood scent. Good luck, I'm sure there are many people with good information here. Just ask........

Are your friends able to ship frozen mice to the rest of us?
Meanig are they large enough to ship out of state?
Do they have a website?

Billboard,
As far as I know she will ship frozen mice/rats but will not ship live (obviously). Contact Lynn Kubic, here is the link:

As for getting them to eat f/t, I have no doubt my male will but our Limburg will NOT eat mice of any sort. I have no idea if she'd even eat f/t since we've ALWAYS fed live. My male will eat anything whether it be a mouse or a rat pup but she will only eat rat pups and will DEFINATELY not touch a mouse. The last time we tried feeding her a mouse, the mouse bit me instead of the snake eating it and damn did that thing hurt.
It would also help if my fiance and I lived in our own place. Both of our parents get a bit grossed out at the idea of frozen rodents in the home freezer and we don't have any separate ones. I have been thinking about trying t oget f/t because today was feeding day and we'll have to do it tomorrow simply because neither of us felt like going to the store. We pay almost $6 for two rat pups which really sucks.

Thanks, a bit expensive. I pay $.29 per mouse, $.19 each rat pink.

Doesn't sound to bad.
We buy our feeders from a reptile store here called Scales n Tails (Milo knows it well also). They're adult mice I believe are $1.50, the rat pups are $2 something each. For two rat pups we pay $5.68.
Lynn hosts the Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo that is here every couple of months. She also runs Boasandballs.com and runs her side of the booth while her sons run the rodent side. Willard's Rodents is always connected to her booth so she sells feeders all the time. I just wish I could get our two to eat f/t. I have no doubt my male will but our Limburg is a whole other story and when you still live at home, have no extra freezer space and the fact that our parents were just find it revolting to have frozen rodents in a freezer well, it's a bit hard lol
I believe we can buy Frozen feeders from Scales n Tails but I'm not positive. I'm almost tempted to try.
