I'm no expert but that just seems like a totally bad idea to me. I get the assist feeding small/babies, but this just sounds wrong. If a breeder is doing this with rats to older snakes I would say they are not responsible and care more about making the animal get bigger quicker so they can pump out babies than they care about the animals health. Like I said no expert here so I could be wrong, I'm just basing this on common sense and no real knowledge on the subject.
