If you can buy a little mini freezer suggested by another member, then you can buy a good supply of f/t, and as they vary in size in the batches, you can pick out the right sized rodent for each meal, instead of "get what your given/ the only size they have" when you buy live. All being well your BP will be around for 10/15/20 years, so buying a mini freezer may be a good investment

ps-May be try rats... my BP was a funny eater. When i gave mice he wouldn't be that bothered (ie-not resticting letting go after restricting), i could take it away and he would let me. Now he's on rats and hasn't refused since, as for getting a rat off him ...nooo chance
