Re: Buying frozen mice (RodentPro)
There's no reason to pre kill if they wont be frozen. That just lessens the chance they will eat them.

No no, it will wean them off of live. If they dont eat freeze it and try before you buy 50$ worth of frozen.
Plus, live can hurt the snake, even a rattler.

I guess that makes sense to try fresh killed before thawing. But i've fed live their whole lives and have never seen a mouse even come close to anything that would even slightly hurt the snake.

Well he's right, it would make sense to make sure they'll eat fresh killed before buying a ton of frozen...

I wasn't referring to that, I agree as well but if you've never seen the come close to injury, just keep feeding live.

All my Rattlesnakes take F/T with no problems. Some strike it and then you lay it in front of them. Others grab it from the tongs.

I've tried before. A lot of times the mice die between the store and here. It's less than 50% of the time they end up eating them, but maybe if I hold out and make them more hungry they'll see they don't have a choice.
