Feeding live?

[MontyAndMelissa]

Wow previous posters. Wow. I'm asking about feeding my snake and I come back and see a debate. Really? Wow.

Snake has been an on point eater until he got hurt (from a NON feeding related injury). I don't want to go to live because he's taken f/t just fine in the past. I also didn't want to switch to mice from rats because I've heard of issues going back to bigger prey.

If Anyone has any other helpful advice, please share.

I'm nervous about feeding live and I'm nervous because he's been off his food and losing weight steadily. My vet said if he doesn't eat they want to look into force feeding him which I DON'T want to do, at all.

Thank you to those with helpful suggestions.

I think that rat pups are the same size roughly as large mice. the difference is in the scent.
