MikeV, I also wondered that. I have always done f/t, even with a big collection. It was cheaper and easier than breeding my own, which I did for a long time as well. When I bred my own, I whacked and froze, then I just said screw it and ordered f/t online.
The only exceptions were a few rattlers that would only take live.
maybe for me it was the hassle of keeping up the breeders, cleaning their tubs, which was way worse than cleaning snake tubs...lol. And had to be done every few days.
Yeah id imagine cleaning rodent cages a lot is terrible lol. the smell, oh gawd
Anyway yeah im really interested in seeing why peoiple switch to live with big collections (or mid-sized collections)
