I just really don't understand why anyone would feel the need to take a side on this. No one is saying everyone has to do it - the question was whether it's a good idea. It is a good idea because it is not a bad idea. Keeps the rodent calmer than it may have been otherwise, which - as you concede above - reduces the risk of an issue. From what to what? No one knows until someone does a study, but in the meantime, risk mitigation should be lauded, not laughed at.Originally Posted by Rob
And anyway, statistics don't matter to the individual. I have literally had this unlikely thing happen to me and I didn't think "oh gee I'm the one in a thousand today, there are 999 other people to whom this didn't happen." I thought "oh no poor snake but thank god wasn't your eyeball."
Can't it just an optional thing that some people choose not to do without deriding those who do?
F/t risk is irrelevant and tbh if you want to start pulling the teeth from your f/t rodents, go for it.
