I feed live when I have to - for picky eaters, and I tend to feed mice or very small rats if they are live, no matter how many are needed to make the meal... I just supervise, and offer one at a time.



I feed pre-killed when the picky snake gets scared by the live prey (grrr) - or when I couldn't get a small enough rat that I am willing to risk offering it live.



I feed thawed prey whenever I can; when I don't have supply problems, and/or my husband hasn't accidentally left all of my bags of frozen rodents out overnight because he was moving stuff around in the freezer (aaaaaa!).



Cheers!
