    Re: Freaking out a little after feeding live for the first time ??

I had to buy 10, that was the minimum from the breeder and I knew they would only live a few days without the mother. So I took 7 and put them in a zip loc bag and placed it in the freezer, which the breeder said was the most humane way to do it. Felt awful and after all that I had to toss the other 3 in the freezer too as she still hasn't eaten. I'm meeting up with the snakes breeder tomorrow who is going to give me a few baby mice and the smallest hoppers he has in hopes that works, if not he will take her back on Sunday and see if he can get her eating again. Sorry for the derail of your thread, just thought it was necessary to explain why I had to cull 10 pinky's.

    I don't know where the breeder got the idea that freezing something alive is the most humane way to do it
