no one thinks it is. but it is frowned on. fine if its kept shut away in the background, only used when need be, as most folk use it. but when you start shouting on a public forum, where ANYONE could be reading it, that you feed pregnant rats to things, that brings it out in the open. it fuels the anti feeling there is about snakes, never mind live feeding.

Confused I didnt say I did, nor that I didn't, I merely suggested it as an option

i can see whats being said about them growing quicker on live, and could never believe it's forceful powerfeeding... just an added bonus that the snake seems to be growing better. If i had the heart to do it all the time then i probably would, but i don't think i really can. I'm always a bit sceptical about having to sell anything as well... i've already got one problem... feeding multimammates, and you cant source frozen multi's anywhere i believe? So feeding live multimammates to royals and try and sell them on could prove difficult Laughing
