Re: rat dissection
We use Southern biological for Rats too.
Does anyone know of a good supplier of kidney, hearts & plucks in Sydney that deliver?

Re: rat dissection
We have to use places that our animal ethic committee( Catholic Edu) have ticked off as good to use in the ACT . So we get our frozen rats from the Reptile Zoo, they are fantastic specimens plus much cheaper than Southern Biological. A pack of 5 large rats is $40 , there breed for food.

Re: rat dissection
Where do you get your rats from these days? I got some frozen ones from raticoolreptile@hotmail.com a couple of years ago but haven't had a response to my email this year. Does anyone know if they are still in business?

Re: rat dissection
We get our rats from the pet store. Snake food, already dead and frozen, don't stress.
