I feed every week out of the year ... so if you figure; 400 rats per week x 52 weeks per year x 10 years ... that's 200,000+ live feedings over the last 10 years and that is a conservative estimate ... with all of those feedings, I have never had a single bite, scratch, or mauling.

Hope this helps.

Priceless.

You know, with over 200k live feedings, if he has never had an issue.... that says an aweful lot. I will play those odds any day of the week.

Tosha, you are breaking the rules. you are not talking about first hand experiences... you are talking about rescue turn ins. There is no telling what really happened there... The person may have said "I was feeding my snake, and the rat attacked!" what they didn't tell you was that the rat was probably in the tank for 2 days... or that it was a large rat with 100g snake. Please, first hand experiences only.

Franky, I am not trying to say anyone is doing anything wrong, or that one way is better than the other. I mostly feed f/t because that is what works for me. The point of this thread is to show that if you follow the rules, there is NOTHING wrong with feeding live. So far this thread has shown just that. the only person who has clamed injuries so far was talking about what happened to someone else... without knowing the facts of what REALL?Y happened.
