    Re: food??

    looks a little odd to me. i would prefer rodents because its their natural food. that looks and probably smells nothing like a rodent

    "and is a preferred diet for those who dislike feeding their animals either live or frozen mice or rats"

    in other words.............people who shouldn't own reptiles in the first place.

    Re: food??

    This diet is nutritionally complete and needs no additional supplementation; it does not contain meat by-products or grains such as corn, wheat, rice or barley.


    Whole prey items such as mice, rats, or rabbits actually contain meat by-products...such as bone, sinew, offal, fur, etc. One would imagine that if the snakes actually eats and digests these things, they might be an essential part of their diet. Also....take note of the "does not contain grains.... then look at the list of ingredients:

    Beef, Beef Hearts, Beet Pulp, Tricalcium Phosphate, Ground Flaxseed Meal, Sodium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2 Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), Vitamin A and D-3 Supplement, Niacin, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamin Mononitrate, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Folic Acid, Biotin, Iron Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite.


    And if "beef" without the by products was enough...why all those added chemicals of rather questionable reputation?

    All in all, a bad choice on every level.
