Is live feeding really that bad?

[Zincubus]

I did not disregard anything, your experience is still minuscule when compared to the whole. You said yourself that you would not keep snakes if they were live feeders so your "data" is already skewed. How many of your 30 plus royals were feeding on live when you acquired them? Just trying to get a feel for your experience in converting. Your source(s) on serpent slaying rodents and rodent torturing serpents has me doubting you at times - sorry.

I have never claimed to have ever converted a snake from LIVE to d/f frozen to be fair .

In the UK the norm is feeding d/f frozen though , of course .
