Crunchie .. Very good post. 
I agree with you almost entirely, I think you are wrong about feeding live vertebrates though as sometimes it is necessary to get an animal feeding and defrost just doesnt work . ie problem royals springs to mind straight away. |
I know there are times when live feeding is required and that's why I mentioned it at the very end of my post as "special circumstances" sorry if that didn't come across as clearly as I wanted it to. I think anyone here would be willing to trade a few live rodent feeds for the life of their pets.  |
