I only do that to jumbos that i feed my giant saharan ball girls to. Those females are close to and over 5000 grams and need to eat big jumbos. I feed live and i knock the rats out first. Only reason i yank the teeth after knockin em out is because they can still bite after being knocked out. Its not the easiest thing to knock a jumbo out. Have you ever tried? Lol its not easy. And a bite from a jumbo can do crazy damage. I hope your not implying that would be cruelty considering its being fed to a snake to begin with. This is not a peta run site. And i dont care for fauna either but alot of snake customers do and the last thing i need is to have people starting a witch hunt because they got a snake with problems frome me.
i dont see a problem with what you do to the jumbo rats as far as knocking them out and pulling their teeth,(not saying i would pull teeth thats a little too hardcore for me, however i have knocked rats out before just not jumbos)if i had a 5000+ gram female i would try feeding f/t or pre killed(just swing them a little harder when knocking them out) but if she wont eat f/t or pre killed then i would probably do the same thing cause as you said a rat bite from a jumbo would be devastating to a snake. i would like to know your website though i dont see a link to it at the bottom of your posts
