Has anybody used rsrepiles.co.uk to buy frozen mice?
The place I usually buy from locally is a bit expensive so I am looking for somewhere cheaper but reliable. Would love to know if you have any thing you can tell me about this site before I order. Thanks

Hi. How do you prepare pinkies for feed? Do you leave them out for a while or put them in warm water? How long for?

I'm with the others on this.. I leave them to defrost for around half an hour and just give them a little squeeze with the tweezers to check they're nice and squishy

Only had a corn snake for a few weeks, so still getting used to the food.. I'm sure I will eventually switch to fingers, and OH has been tempted to BBQ the pinkies and see what they're like.. weird! But I find it easier as he doesn't think my fingers are food then.
