My favourite supplier of anything!
I have ordered from Ridgeway many times, as a private individual, and through the course of my work. There have been a couple of minor issues over the years, but these have been dealt with promptly, professionally, and to my full satisfaction. Through the course of my work, this is my favourite supplier to deal with as orders are always on time and as described. I can 100% recommend this company and all that they do. A pleasure to deal with!

Whole prey arrive at room temperature -- "Do you have pictures and proof of temperatures as this never happens when we use dry ice which will dissolve in transit?"
"..respectfully we are talking about feeding ferrets not humans."
-- RidgewayFrozen
"I would like to use yourselves upon clarification on whether items defrost at any point when imported from the EU, at any time above 0°C?"
"We unfortunately would not be interested in supplying you in future and suggest you purchase locally to avoid any such things potentially happening again in the future." -- RidgewayFrozen

Best quality frozen rodents you can buy…
Best quality frozen rodents you can buy even though they're the cheapest we've found! Always extremely fast delivery and always still frozen on delivery! Won't order our rodents from anywhere else.

Dodgy courier service
Ridgeway products are great, but their courier service (DPD) is a bit dodgy. They don’t knock on your door, just leave your parcel on the doorstep. And guess what? If it gets stolen, neither company takes responsibility. So, you’re left out of pocket, and the products aren’t exactly cheap. I’m happy to pay for the products, but I just want to make sure I get them.

Fast delivery, reasonable price.
I ordered frozen rats for my Royal python as the shop I usually use doesn't supply the new size he needed. They arrived the next day securely packaged and perfectly frozen in dry ice. Even with the price of specialist delivery they were still cheaper that what I usually pay despite being a bigger size. As an extra bonus this is the first time I have been able to get my extremely awkward snakey friend to eat a rat that wasn't pure white so he approves too! I woukd highly recommend this company.

First time ordering from Ridgeway…
First time ordering from Ridgeway Frozen, and if this is anything to go by I'll be back again with another order. Well packaged, and everything arrived next day still completely frozen. DPD delivery next day, what more could you ask for? Full live tracking through the DPD app, no 5 hour delivery slots like you get with Royal Mail! My only complaint is they don't take PayPal, but then you can't have everything 🙂.

Very very happy
Cheapest I have found price wise. People may think £12-15 for delivery is expensive but they get delivered by dpd they come completely frozen and next day which I think is great. Will definitely be ordering again

Arrived Frozen :)
Everything arrived perfectly frozen, my only comlaint would be that they can't gaurantee frozen on arrival if £50 or under and wont't refund or replace if it arrives thawed, so i've had to order a years supply of rats for my 2 snakes generally i don't like to store longer than 4-6 months.
Maybe you can just add an option to charge more for orders under £50 and upgrade/ increase the packaging/ ice, i'd be happier with that to be honest
