Is this true?

I'm not saying the information is factual (because I really don't know) but I can see it happening, and making sense. Considering the quality of dog food the majority of people feed their mice/rats, such as Doggy Bag.... well, the quality is quite poor, even for a mouse. Mice & Rats in the wild naturally have an extremely widespread diet versus what these poor quality dog foods almost completely consist of- Corn, Soybean & dyes.

It has been proven in institutions, such as zoological gardens, that animals fed a poor diet can become infertile. Now, if you're feeding your rats and mice a poor diet, then doesn't it make sense that the snakes, consuming these poorly fed rats and mice, are being poorly fed?


EDIT: I also once read an article about dyes causing infertility. I'll try to find it. Can't remember if it was in a veterinary catalogue or a journal.
