Its a bit of a grey area to be honest, the RSPCA (royal society for prevention of cruelty to animals) dont ban it, but it is kind of approved for feeding an animal that without live prey would die.
personally i only feed frozen thawed, i have around 30 balls and a dozen hognose's, and so far in all my years of keeping has not really been a big issue for me.
Its far easier to have a well stocked freezer, than have to look after loads of rodents.
I buy a few months food at a time, and it works for me.
many people breed their own, and feed live or fresh killed.
But i think us brits are probably not the norm, i think live is more common in other parts of europe.
