Just bought some frozen mice and they're very fat and female, Im guessing there pregnant. I may sound silly but are they ok as feeder mice. I guess with being pregnant its extra nutrition for snake right or wrong?

They should be fine to feed to snake as long as they aren't too wide for the snake to manage. Afterall, snakes would eat whatever mice they could get in the wild, surely they would eat pregnant ones as well. Although I wouldn't have thought anywhere would sell you pregnant mice as it is a waste of money from their point of view as they could sell the babies separately and make more cash.

the mice are likely from mice farms and as such wont be checked over before they are dispatched, so is possible pregnant mice are sold as feeders.

Wont do the snake any harm at all if she is pregnant
