I've heard about this on thamnophis. Luckily, I just fed the last of the arctic mice I bought last week.

This is why I buy local and (when my collection gets big enough again) preach breeding your own food, you know exactly what there given and how there taken care of

Treat your feeders like you would any other raw meat and you will never have an issue.
