Wild caught yes, like venison, Brook Trout, etc.

Of what consequence is it if we "are not going to find many people here to back you on that being a good decision"? Are we running for political office, or exchanging ideas re somebody who doesn't "want to have to feed guinea pigs or rabbits, due to their price"?

Parasites, viruses, AIDS? Oh yeah almost forgot that free range wild caught animals are sick and should not be consumed by anyone or anything, unlike rodents kept in crowded trays, sleeping in their own feces/urine, & eating nasty pellets that would make a BillyGoat puke. Scratch that idea - back to rats everybody! Everybody back to rats!

You can do whatever you want. I just don't think it is very responsible to suggest using a feeder that may have been contaminated in some way and run the risk of harming another keepers collection. I have a hard time believing you can 100% guarantee that a wild caught animal had not been exposed to some hazardous material or parasite.

I doubt you eat your venison or trout raw.
