Levftover Life Feeders

For those of you that feed live and don't breed your own, what do you do with the rat/mouse if your snake doesn't eat that week? You can't throw it away...its alive! My logic was to keep it until the next week, but that resulted in the boyfriend becoming attached and eventually another pet. What do you guys usually do?

It's fine to get attached, temporarily.

Back in the cage they go for a week. We actually have a rejected, due to shed, pet rat now. We have had her since she was a weanling, and so she is sweet as pie, and funny too. But any other "rejects" just go in and are her playmates for a week. We also have asf's but haven't had any of those rejected yet.

When I wasn't breeding my own I would keep them in an enclosure with food or water until next feeding time, offer them to another snake or you can always kill and freeze the rat for any f/t eaters.
