I've got a young man on my forum getting rather snippy with another member regarding the practice of raising his own feeders. The snippy guy says it is "unequivocally" unsafe practice to raise feeders (these are to feed to his florida gar, by the way) due to the introduction of parasites to the fish.
Aren't there people here who use live feeders that they raise themselves? If so, do you use precautionary treatments on them periodically to eradicate possible parasites? I know for safety reasons that it might not be the best practice to give live feeders to snakes due to injury, but it's still done, correct?
Any insight would really be appreciated. I don't want to lay the smack down on him until I hear some other opinions. Although I want to just for his snarky attitude. :nope: Thanks!
