A Hypothetical Question

It's more humane to feed Beef to a snake than Rats?

If you're comparing a Rat that was raised and euthanized humanely to a hamburger, I'll have to argue that the Cow was cuter:tears:

That is amazing. Those sausages arent worth the casing their stuffed in. Seems to me a snake on those would just get thinner and thinner over time. WHo knows what damage would come of it later on from being so low on all those nutrients..

Now my question is... Where on earth did you find the nutritional value for rats?? Mine dont come with that FDA required label that all other food comes with :confused:

I actually couldn't believe how fast I found it, here's the site. It has alot of different feeder animals! Really neat!

And yeah, I think you could easily end up with a skinny snake or an overweight snake (from having to feed so many sausages to get the nutrients the snake needs and also giving the snake all the stuff they don't need along with it).

I just imagine a little snake sitting at the breakfast table in a little snake robe (maybe a snuggie for snakes?) with with a big plate of eggs and sausage eating like the ones in those pictures. LAWL.

Well that fully answers my question; not only is it possible, it has been done haha. I agree with Freakie_frog that bones have important nutrients, but you could also roll the sausage in calcium dust haha. Thanks for the awesome link iCandi!
