We mainly feed live or p/k, i only feed frozen, if i froze the original animals or they came from a very close friend who froze them. We breed our own rats and when we have excess we sometimes freeze them, but i will not buy frozen from very many people. At least 50-60% of the frozen rats are from labs. And i just dont trust rats from the labs. I also know a lot of people that get these animlas from the labs in huge bags that sit outside for a few days before the rats are sorted through and re-frozen, i personally would never de-thaw and re-freeze so that is another reason why i dont feed f/t unless they are mine. I am not saying all f/t is bad by any means, but i have had snakes regurge in the past due to a bad f/t rat, and i have seen rats from labs with extended bellies or black bellies.
Just my personal opinion..
