Feeding frozen

Hello everybody. This is my first post here.

I'm thinking about getting a corn snake in the future (a few weeks or a couple months), and I've done a bit of research so I know all the basics.

But I'm just wondering how common is it that snake won't accept frozen (thawed) prey? That's my biggest concern, because I'm not very comfortable with feeding live mice/rats...

Thanks so much!!
 
I never had a problem . You do warm them up in a cup of hot water to defrost them and make them more applealing to the snake .

Here is a few links you can read through that will answer most of your question.
