Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
eww, i've only had them bark once...angriest rat I've ever seen. I always try to treat my food as animals first, not the food they're about to become. Seems to make it easier on them, as you aren't stressing, so they don't stress as much. We usually feed guinea pigs (he's an ******* when it comes to eating, so the extra fat won't hurt him). and they pack a NASTY bite. I love it when we get the 'died of old age' ones...perfect size, and already dead.
Do any of you have snakes that prefer animals that die naturally? It seems that the last few times I was able to get pajamas to eat, it was a guinea that was already sick and he snapped it up. next, I tried a rabbit...and he let it cuddle with him. ended up taking it back for a guinea...which was healthy, we killed it, and pajamas didn't eat it either time i tried. Then I got one that died naturally, and he snapped it up. Coincidence?

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
maybe he just likes live Guineas...and the rest is coincidence. I know some won't eat live some won't eat dead...some like certain critters...I've even heard of snakes prefering certain colors. I think our pets are alot more selective then ppl think

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
How easy is it to breed rats without getting overwhelmed? The closest rat feeders in my area are 30 minutes away and I don't always have the time or gas for that. I'll need to breed enough for three snakes a week.

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
it wouldn't be worth the headache for only 3 snakes IMO you should order out but order enough for like 6 months

My BP was raised on live and the two boas I have both were raised on prekilled but they eat live. If I were to breed how many pairs would I need to feed three snakes weekly? and if I were to switch to F/T is it a pain to get them to switch normally or does it depend on the snake? I noticed my BP and hypo aren't very picky and strike fast but the bigger boa likes to check out the prey first.

nope, i kill them all before. guineas are evil. rabbits...well...i wasn't sure the rabbit was the right size (it was much to big), but he didn't even strike it. he rarely strikes live guineas, he prefers dead (had a run in with a rat the first and last time i fed live)

Re: how to kill rats?!?! sdjkbvkdfjhvbc
I guess I'm old school.
I take them by the tail and with the right hit they are out and dead and then fed.
