A very large percentage of the macro and micro nutrients a predator takes in are derived from the intestinal contents of the prey animal. This is true for virtually all predators in existence and relates back to the importance of the diets of the prey animals. He is also correct in that freezing has nothing to do with the quality of the feeder. That is determined by the quality of the living animal before it was frozen. It may have somewhat of an effect on the parasites within the feeder, but unless your freezer is extremely cold, freezing will have only minimal effect on the viability of parasite eggs within the prey animal. Additionally, it would be highly unusual for captive raised rodents to harbor parasite species that could use reptiles as an intermediate or primary host species. [ Hide Replies ]
