I really want to breed my own feeders for my bp, Lou, buyt my fiance doesnt want live rodents anywhere near the house. I slightly agree because well they have an odor but besides that I like the idea because I will know exactly how the mouse/ rat was care for before i sacrifice it to the favored animal. any tips about this because yeah buying ft isnt expensive but I just like to know that im feeding my snake something that isnt fubar.
