Re: why did mouse split?

Just put him in a plastic rubbermaid-type tub next time and feed him there. They are easy to rinse out and no worries of mouse smears on the floor or bedding being ingested.

I feed my Rosy Boa in a plastic tub.

If it's not your fault, find a new rodent supplier.
Never use boiling water. I try it once to thaw all my rats faster. Some of the smaller ones the guts busted open as soon as they hit the cage floor. Very very messy.

Re: why did mouse split?

My king only eats live, I've tried everything to switch him over but he won't do it. He will go months so I always cave and give him live I finally gave up and just give him live now but he from time to time busts a mouse open...it happens man...
