feeding live mice vs. frozen

[Nate]

The word is that feeding live mice makes the snakes more aggressive. True?

ha. False. Where'd you get that "word" ?

What if I feed the mice to the snakes in a separate container than their regular cages?

A lot of people feed in their regular cages. There's debate on whether or not it stresses the animal out, but some people have better success with it. Try both ways.

I realize that mice can fight back and possibly injure a snake, but I also hear that the lab mice are far less aggressive than wild ones- which is what I'd be using.

I would highly advise that you DON'T feed wild mice. You never know how much rat poison that mouse has eaten.
