Layne Labs Premium Frozen Feeder Pack
Layne Labs claims the premium slot due to laboratory-grade pathogen screening, documented traceability and tightly controlled processing—advantages that justify a higher price for breeders prioritizing biosecurity. While more expensive than volume-focused providers like MiceDirect or Big Cheese, its technical QA and certification make it the preferred choice when minimizing health risk to valuable breeding stock outweighs marginal cost savings.
