I agree with, elevatethis. F/T is a much better solution to the feeding issue. Positive far outweighs the negative. I was worried that Sophie wouldn't eat f/t as she was being feed live prey for the first couple months of her life, but she took to the f/t quicker than the one time we fed her f/k (well, it wasn't quite dead, but retarded at least). I learned from that one experience that there was no way I was going to be able to feed her f/k and I refuse to feed her live as I don't want to take the chance....so, I'm a proponent of the F/T all the way!!
