Re: My Butter Died
Sorry to hear about your loss, any idea how the pinkie could have caused the sudden death? My corn and king are both pretty small still and I'm petrified that they are going to get sick because they seem so frail.

Re: My Butter Died
Another thing I forgot to add last night.
When I buy my feeders, I buy them all LIVE then I kill them when I get home. That way I know I'm not buying a "bad" frozen feeder that died from some unknown reason and just got thrown in the freezer.
I knew someone who bought a frozen mouse for her snake and the same thing happend to her poor snake.

Re: My Butter Died
I never thought to do that. Hmm. I wonder why it ended up in the freezer there?
I ran out of my Rodent Pro frozen ones. I am making another order tonight to avoid ever having to go there again.
I called them today and spoke with the manager and explained what happened (well first I had to explain what a butter corn was) and he just told me "sorry, not my problem but he has a corn for sale if I want it".
THAT ticked me off. Do these guys work on comission or something?
He seemed nice up until he tried to sell me a replacement corn.

Re: My Butter Died
Don't even deal with those kind of people. They just want to make a sale in the end and they don't care how you feel, or about the animal.
Glad not all pet stores are like that. Some are good.

Re: My Butter Died
I just spoke with the person who bred this snake. I do not hold him responsible for the death. It looks like a fluke thing to me. Either it was not meant to survive or I ended up with a bad food item the other day. I am taking responsibility for what happened.
