Cutting..

Just wondering.. I have some pretty big mice that are too big for Damien, I cut one in half and thats lasted two whole weeks.. Just wondering if this is an okay thing to do? It's abit smelly but I dont mind..
 
i'm not entirey sure. but i wouldn't have thought it was too great an idea. the mouse can get bacteria and germs easier like that.
And also seen as snakes cant chew, that dont eat half animals in the wild. have to eat them whole.
 
Thank you, It's only for a short while until I get smaller mice, however Ill look into getting smaller mice sooner :)

Thankee, George.
 
George, do you cut it while frozen and only use one half? Can't see anything wrong with that, except it's messy after thawing.
 
Sorry for the late reply, I forgot about this thread lol..


Yea I cut them in half while they are frozen, its really messy at feeding time and at thawing time, but the smell of blood gets Damien striking at it within about 2 seconds lol : )
 
No problem with cuttin them in half, I do it all the time when feeding lizards to alterna. Just make sure you cut it while it is frozen, its much easier that way.

This is a good technique to use when you have a smaller snake that is getting fat. Instead of feeding a whole (fat) crawler, you can feed half a (leaner) small mouse.
