Ahhh I see. I hear so many conflicts about which path is the right way to go, it's almost as difficult as child-rearing LOL

I've heard both ends of the argument not to feed them in their home enclosure but I didn't know I'd make them feel less safe. There was a bulge in the neck, but once it reached the body I couldn't see the mouse anymore. Yep crawler mice. I think my male got the mouse down the fastest, and had gulped it in under a minute. My female took about 4 minutes, I even walked out the room for a moment to get a drink before coming back to see if she was still working on it. I will move the male up to a larger size.

Does anyone have any tips on switching to frozen, or able to offer some words on whats best? The last time we owned balls there were no frozens available as there are now and everything was done live, with us knocking the prey out beforehand. The place literally does have TONS of mice, so it would be easy for me to pick one out. Should I step them up to 2 crawlers a week instead of a single one each week?
