my 2 cents.......i don't think going to the pet store is a bad thing.i like seeing new stuff when i go.if i ordered f/t mice/rats i wouldnt have my leopard geckos,and i love my leos.
its nice to know your animals will eat a f/t but i like watching the hunt and im sure they like it too.one thing is i always have a long kabob stick if the rat bites i stick it in there to where the rat cant bite.....if i had hundreds of snakes id change but alot of us here dont so we can take the time to be sure they dont get hurt
