looking for recent frozen rat supplier recommendations?

Most of the frozen rat recommendation threads I found are a few years old, and a lot can change in that time. I'd rather hear from people who have ordered recently. I have a ball python and a king snake, both eating rats, for a total of about 20 per month.

Bit of a long shot, but needs must when the devil drives: can anyone recommend a decent cat water fountain where the pump doesn’t expire after a few months? I rather liked the PetGurn one - induction-driven, so no wires in the bowl - but alas, the pump packed up rather quickly.
