Organic feeders?

Organic feeders?
You are what you eat, right?
I keep pet rats and actually run my own business making and selling premium organic diets for pet rodents. I like being able to control what goes into my animals and removing the things that shouldn't be there like unnatural ingredients, additives, and the dreaded GMO.
I don't want these things going into my future snake, either. I was wondering if anyone sells feeders raised "organically". It makes sense to me, though I can see how it wouldn't to many others.
Of course, this is something that I could do myself with my own organic diet, but I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that uses these practices to make sure that their snakes get the best food possible. I don't want GMO in any of my pets.

I really hope so, Ana!
I wonder if I could find someone semi-local to give some of my mouse/rat diet to and essentially pay them to raise a year or so's worth of feeders for me organically.

here in the forum are some threads about rats... like "buy frozen ones or raise my own" and there's a lot of people there talking about!
maybe you'll find someone there from you're location or near you ^^

Yes, only some of the dangers of GMO soy, which is very prevalent in the rodent blocks that feeders are most often raised on. I can't blame the feeder breeders, though, for sure, as feeding human-grade organic diets to that number of animals isn't necessarily convenient or inexpensive to do yourself!
I do wonder if I could "adopt" a breeding pair/trio and give the breeder my own food and bottled water and pay them extra to do the "dirty work" for me.
I know how silly this must sound to everyone, especially after I got berated on another forum for this, but this is something that is very important to me.

I'd do it if I was near you. Like ana said, look in this feeder section and see if someone would help you with this project. The feeders might cost you more than a regular feeder though, because of the extra work that it'd require.

This doesn't sound silly at all. I'll be looking for updates on this thread.

I didn't realize you already mentioned that you'd pay extra for them to do the dirty work. Lol

I've actually been thinking about getting back into breeding after a 10 year hiatus and have considered organic feeders as a possibility. Unfortunately though, I'm on the other side of the states than you
