| Im very careful when feeding thank you. If the snake doesnt want it automatically, I take the mouse out. You must really care about something that once carried the Black Plague. Vermin are nasty so I feel no sympathy from feeding it live. And, its a proven fact that if snakes eat live, CAPTIVE BRED mice, they have a higher life rate. But you go ahead and keep feeding your frozen mice. God put them on this planet to be feed other creatures, who are we to change it? |

we changed it by captive breeding them into fancy colours and patterns.
i will continue to feed frozen mice, safe in the knowledge i am doing the best for my snakes. |

| feeding live is just as safe and much more healthyer. And a LOT less time consumming. When my snakes hungry, I can throw a mouse in there instantly. You have to thaw it out first. |

| I really dont like freezer feeders. People like that try to kill the snakes hunting instincts, and if your successful, youll regret it if the snake escapes. My male snow got out a while ago and and hes lived his whole life on live feeders. Im glad too, because if I killed the instinct he would be dead. He was gone for about 3 months until I finally caught him. |

| i keep my snake so they cant escape. and i do not believe i have killed the killer instinct, if i were to put a live mouse in there, they would kill it. and even if they did escape, frozen feepers or no, i do not live in a mouse infested house so they would go hungry either way ;) |

| I dont live in a mouse infested house either. But mice have a way to go into houses. My snake pretty much ate them all. |

| Hi Primrose, I wouldn't have been able to handle my first few weeks without our little community. I say few weeks but I'm still on here within seconds of something new happening :p |

Woah! I walked in on an unexpected 'live vs frozen' argument....... *slowly walks backwards towards the door*.....
Oooh Slither fyi, it was fleas that carried the plague not mice or rats. Rats just carried the fleas that carried the plague. :) |

| And mice got into everything which then in turn infected everyone else. Mice/rats are disease carriers lol. |

have no idea what this thread is about anymore
So will say this is not the place for a live feeding debate, in the US the rules are different to here. I also wont have anyone having a go at other members here about having a bloodlust for killing, look at the videos of live feeding produced over here we are just as bad.
No more about live feeding it isnt relevant and doesnt answer any of the original questions.
You have all been warned. |
