Feeding off rats with tumors?

[Courtney281]

Can I feed a rat with a tumor or possible puss pocket to my snakes? Never been in this situation before and not sure what to do with this rat. Please help

I don't usually recommend it but I have fed tumored rats with no issues.
Now if they have exposed puss pockets I probably wouldn't but mostly because that's just nasty...

why risk it? just put it down and get rid of it

[Courtney281]

I have no way of humanly putting it down though

Unless it's an open cyst or wound, it's fine. A tumor is just that, and not going to hurt your snake...

put the rat in an old sock and wack it as hard as you can against the ground

just use a old pillow case

just grab it by the tail and whack it on the ground
