I do have a question concerning frozen vs. live as far as nutritional needs. Are frozen animals lacking in comparison to fresh killed prey?
There are arguments both for-and against- feeding F/T in regards to nutrional content. From personal experience, I have 15 very healthy BPs that are all gaining weight steadily, have perfect sheds, etc., and are all fed F/T. We humans usually freeze the meats that we purchase,thaw them later, cook them, and eat them. I don't see how this is any different.
You do have to purchase from a reputable source to avoid feeding previously thawed out rodents. And you have to sure that the prey items are thoroughly thawed before feeding.
