I see what your trying to say, but I dont necessarily buy it. A little vitamin dust is not going to over power the original smell of the rodent.

I know a few people that have done similar things with absolutely no negative response to the feeder.

I am not saying they need vitamins, just saying that perhaps your logic in this case is a little too obtuse.

Not an attack by any means, just a simple difference of opinion. Besides, I am new to the Ball Python world, so what the hell do I know
