Okay so the cats brought in a squirrel.It wasnt dead but it was dying so I put it down, put it in a plastic bag and tossed it in the freezer.Well today I fed it to my boa.Now Im having second thoughts if that was such a good idea.A bit late now I know.
Anyways my cats have been hunting and eating rats,mice and baby rabbits for the last 10yrs and Ive only had one bout of tapeworms in that time.At that time the vet informed me that people could not get tapeworms from cats....So what are the chances that my boa could get some parasite from that squirrel?

I know that freezing helps kills some parasites so that would bring the chances down.
