Vitamin B supplement?

[Mochelem]

I saw this video on you tube

He says feeding frozen kills thiamin in the mouse and you need to use a vitamin b supplement? Is this true and does anyone on here use this?

Never used any supplements with my f/t.

I have seen that video, and I have also been wondering the same thing since i saw it. Anyone care to shed some light on it?

In short - let's just say there is a lot of bad information on ReptilesTV.com

forgive my ignorance, but who is the gentleman talking?

I wouldn't call that bad advice. Freezing probably does kill thiamin that snakes probably need. I'm no expert, but this guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about. Whose to say his advice is bad? I simply stated that I've never supplemented..Perhaps I should?

There is no need to supplement a f.t. feeder.

If I remember correctly that guy even says something to the effect that balls need UV lighting -- like I said -- lots of bad info on that sight not just ball related either.

A guy I was talking to also said that the frozen food needs to be injected with extra vitamins.
I have a hard time believing, though, since I've never heard of such from other experienced reptile-keepers.
But then again, it sort of make sense that frozen food might loose good vitamins...
