Well you are failing the testthese are pretty much my "test" rats
Breeding your own feeders mean having the opportunity to provide the BEST quality food possible for your snakes.
You are breeding sick animals, so tell me what kind of quality do you provide for your snakes?
For me rats and mice are breeders and feeders, however I make sure that they are healthy and properly cared for, why? Because in the end they end-up in my snakes belly so quality and health is important!
If you want the best for your snakes you need to start by respecting the preys.
