Re: IF there was a vegan diet option for BPs...
Warning, long and little off topic!
...I just read my post and again, and got the feeling it sounds like I am against feeding f/t, but that was not what I wanted to say.
F/t is a practical and for some people the only way to feed their snakes, cause they are not able to get their hands on living food all the time, I am also using f/t pinkies for my corn until my mice start breeding and petshops dont sell living pinkies in my place.
I am just against that hypocritical argumentation of some people (not here in this forum), who are saying it would be cruel and wrong to feed live because of ethical reasons, and then using f/t for their snakes. The mice in the freezer surely had no suicidal tendencies or died of old age before they were frozen, they had to be killed too and so I see no difference, from an ethical point of view.
I will use living mice, wich I kept for some time and fed with good food to improve their nutrional value, as long as I see my Ball kills and eats them quick and without problems. When i switch him to rats i will have to see, if it turns out to be too dangerous for him I will try prekilled..... sorry for the long post but I just went through an similar discussion in an german forum and still had some anger in me. (Okay, it was a fancy mouse lover forum and I asked how to breed feeder mice... I am convinced they would use vegan snake food... )
But back to topic: I made that point earlier, but again, I would never even consider using an artifically produced, highly processed and probably less valueable piece of food, instead of the naturally grown, healthy and nutrionally perfect balanced alternative. Neither for me, nor for my snakes.
Thanx for reading...
