Well, sorry for stirring up the hornets nest with this one for some of you. I would like to say off the bat that I actually did not want to feed him live in the first place. I had my reservations about it. But from what I had heard from friends who own reptiles, and reptile stores, is that it is healthier to feed them live. That is what I had been told. And when I had told my friend how gingerly he thought there could have been an illness making him sluggish. So when he went to get his ball python a rat, he picked me up a pinkie cause he believes it is healthier. But I will no longer attempt to feed him live. On a side note, The frozen pinkies i get from petco are consistently relatively small, about the tip to first digit of your thumb. the live pinkie my friend got me was considerably larger and appeared to be more appropriately sized. Where can I get a medium/large pinkie? petcos next size up i believe it to big.
