I have a corn who's about 4 months old, I just switched her to fuzzies. Her weight is good and she's really started growing. I've had her about 3 months. She's very healthy and active, absolutely textbook. Her feeding response is phenomenal. I just bumped her up to 1 fuzzy every 6-7 days instead of 2 pinkies. She has never refused a meal and now recognizes her feeding tub and immediately begins "hunting" the second I put her in.
So my question is, is there a benefit to live mice versus frozen? I've been feeding frozen because its less of a hassel for me, but if live mice are better for her I have no qualms about feeding live. I know ppl say to feed frozen for snakes who don't seem interested in food and could be injured by a live mouse. But Lucy strikes her feed before it hits the bottom of the tub. (I have to watch my fingers!!!) So I don't think that would be a problem for her. Anyhow, any thoughts?
