??????feeders

hey guys im out of frozen rats for a month till i go to the reptile show.
what should i do cause i can only get live should i feed prekilled or kill the rat then freeze it then feed it thanks

You dont have a petstore around that you can get frozen from? Most of the time you have to ask for them and they keep them in back otherwise you wouldnt know they kept them in stock. I would call around and see.
Even the big box stores have frozen rodents (petco, petsmart)

If you cant find any frozen then yes pre killed would be best IMO.
How large of prey are you feeding the snake?
You can make a Co2 gas chamber or use dry ice, theres plently of info on a DIY gas chamber online.
Or what I usually do....please note this is GRAPHIC...
If you can stomach it, I just double plastic bag the live rodent and smash them on the kitchen floor. Instant death and it is not messy. Just make sure you do it hard enough the first time or the poor thing will not be dead yet. Sorry if thats graphic to some people but Id rather die quick in that way rather then put in a freezer, but thats just me.

:O

:confused::confused::confused:
:tears:

I'm all for feeding snakes and all...but that's harsh. You rescue a piggie...take in someone's free pet...then use it as food?

**walks away quietly**

Edit: Ooooh, I see you took THAT part out. -_-

I am disgusted.

...not getting involved... ;)

what are you talking about did you read this on another fourm what the hell is the matter with you,did you just tll me to feed other people free pets off to my snakes holy id recomend seeing a shrink before you end up in jail with that sick mind!

He edited the ugly part out. I understand that's nature's way, and that RTB's and other large snakes need to eat large prey, even guinea pigs. but 'rescuing' someone's pet, telling them you'll take care of it, and they give it to you, and turning around and using it as a food source is incredibly dishonest, and just...just wrong. There are plenty of options other than that. That's just the cheap, slimy way.

What is THAT supposed to mean? Okay, no, I'm not walking away. I've had a week from hell, and I feel like getting angry at some random idiot on the internet!

YOU SIR wrote, in your post, that you rescue guinea pigs for free and feed them to your RTB. THEN you edited it out before anybody but ME could see it!

I SAID THAT SEEMS DISHONEST AND WRONG.

What part of that do you disagree with?

Thanks for all the quick replys some people just dont know when to shut there trap

rather say nothing and not have any one know then say somthing and have every one think your dumb

Thats messed up dude. And then passive aggressively calling someone fat? Are you like 5?

I suggest you find a different forum to grace with your presence because this one will not tolerate that behavior.

Geez, I've seen his name like, 5 or 6 times, and everytime I just dislike him more and more.

Um, nope. He wasn't making any request he was confirming something and retyping your statement. You should really do away with this makes you sound ridiculous like a desperate kid blindly trying to grab anything you can hold on to to save yourself. So obvious, you dont make any sense theres totally no link. Doesn't take a dumb person to notice it. Not to mention the angst. Wow.

Not to mention he sent me a very very threatening, disturbing PM a few minutes later...:rolleyes: lol, at that point, I just turned him in. Mods should take care of him after awhile...:)

Thanks for the support, guys.

You just disrespected a beautiful young female just for stating her opinion here on something that you originally wrote :colbert:

It will be taken care of. And I just want to say that it does not seem like it bothered you that much but don't ever let a man or anyone else for that matter EVER make you feel bad about yourself!!!!!!!!!!! You are a beautiful young women and should always be proud of that no matter what anyone says :salute:

Hmmm,

Perhaps in future, before lying your ass off and trying to accuse someone of the dispicable act you admited to, you might want to consider the fact that not only can everyone see your post has been edited but some of us can see exactly what it said before and after.

You really aren't making a good start on this forum. Perhaps it might be time to start looking for somewhere else to hang out.

This is the same person that got upset when folks didn't take kindly to flipping Beardie rescues for a quick buck. Most ever post has gone this way. I'm thinking troll....

:hug:

Thanks so much. I try not to let it get to me, lol....Sigh, some people. :confuzd: Haven't let any of this scare me away, though. :) I'm here to stay! Not gonna let a troll steal it! :P

Thanks again everybody. :)

I am glad you caught this unethical conduct for us, and further exposed this schlemiel for his tomfoolery. I don't know the specifics as to the dishonesty he treated these Cavy owners with, but the fact that he treated you with such disrespect is enough to make him a chump
