Holy crap man...that's like something out of a horror movie. Wouldn't it be easier/cleaner/faster to just warm up a f/t rat in some hot water.
I used to do live mice, but I got sick of driving to the pet store every week and having to go to the back with an employee to dig out an acceptable sized mouse. Now I just get the things frozen at another store and keep a month supply in the freezer. The gas I'm saving is ridiculous, even if the mice are a few cents more each. She took her first f/t faster then the live one too! Go figure...
I tried feeding a few rat pups to her, and she loved them, but they're so hard to find live and are proving to be impossible to find frozen at my nearby stores. I'm contemplating buying some online, but I really don't have the space to keep 50-100 of them in the freezer, and I really don't want to spend 40+ dollars on shipping.![]()
