Id agree if feeders weren't a problem over the last year or so. My local stopped carrying Rats & Rabbits he has to special order, the next little city over wants $15 a Xl Rat.. And their mice are even to small for my balls over the last month. I dont feed frozen, only fresh kill. The smell of a Rat in my basement is not noticeable to humans... Its the snakes im asking about & going into Feed Mode of a full grown Burm.
