"Though I don't really understand why snake owners fed pre-killed rodents to their snakes...what's wrong with live rodents?"



- Thought I would reply to your question: Feeding frozen rodents takes away some of the associated risks of harm to the animal. Just as crickets can chew on a lizard, rodents will do the same. It is nice to feed frozen/thawed knowing that there is not any chance of the rodent attacking your animal if left unattended. Especially nice if you are not set up to house several rodents or have large collections of snakes. Hope this helps.
