    What's your feeding method?

    Do you feed live or F/T, and why?

    Re: What's your feeding method?

    I feed what works and what is convinient, in this case I feed live because I have over 40 snakes (and counting) and F/T is no longer convenient for me - I also breed my own rodents.

    Re: What's your feeding method?

    I feed live, but will start freezing some so I have some on hand, in case I have to go out of town. That way if I'm gone for maybe 3 weeks, my roomate can do the f/t. I don't trust anyone else to feed my babies live meals.

    Re: What's your feeding method?

    I now have Henry on F/T but he was fed live from the breeder and would not take a F/T at first. Now he strikes right out of his hide at a F/T. F/T is much more convenient because its a nasty drive to where I have to get the live prey, this way I can buy 4 at a time and only make the trip once every 23ish days.

    Re: What's your feeding method?

    I feed whatever I happen to have. Sometimes live, sometimes F/T. If I had the choice, I would only feed F/T because it is more convenient for me to just grab one out of the fridge. Plus, mice stink like no other.

    Re: What's your feeding method?

    I feed live with my one baby. It's just what she's used to. I would like to try frozen soon, but with live if she doesn't eat it, I can just keep it. However, I wouldn't have to worry about a bite from a frozen.
