Funny story............went to a pet store and asked for an adult mouse and some other various sizes of rats. I didn't check the bag and got home to find a fuzzy with his eyes barely open. Couldn't feed him off since he was too small so I stuck him in a 10gal. next to the snakes and he's a fata$$ now! Anyways, I swear.......ever since then, my snakes have fed better. So I don't think it would hurt and may even help with any "problem" feeding snakes......
