Personally,I woudn't reccomend it!There are alot of parasites and bacteria in wild prey that a captive snake's system can't deal with.I knew a guy years ago,who fed wild animals to his burm,she ended up dieing from a high parasite load!Freezing might kill off most of the parasites,but I'm not sure.
Just my opinion,but I'm no "expert"!
