Issues with breeding and feeding

I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
But yeah, your actions in regards to living creatures surely had to be addressed. And I hope someday you pay for those actions.

You never answered my question either. Why conscious and intelligent rodents and not puppies and kittens? What's the difference? Cruelty is cruelty.
It's sad that you are incapable of learning compassion. But monsters are incapable of that.

BTW, in case anyone thinks I'm overly harsh with this child (even though by the reps that is unlikely), this child has posted in the past that killing animals by splattering them against a wall is "fun".
I wonder where it's parents are when it does these things?

Never make the mistake of considering ASFs to be worthy as pets. There is just no comparison. Domestic mice and rats are just that, domesticated. ASF's are FAR from being domesticated. And once they reach hopper size they just get worse as they age. They do grow to a nice size for large corn snakes and Ball Pythons however.

My rodent breeder/supplier says they are extremely aggressive and will charge across the tank to bite him. He also says they're the perfect rodent for people who keep both corns and BP's (like me)like Flagg mentioned above they're always the perfect size for either and they're prolific breeders too...
 
Got the nerve

Thanks for the advice Im beginning to understand what you mean they are wild rodents. As for the breeding and freezing pinkeys well did what I had to do It was very hard too get them in the freezer on a plus side itll be easier to wean the one snake not yet eating frozen as it wont be costing a dollar a pinky. Im going to have to seriously consider the co chamber when having to feed hoppers oh can I prolong that since Ill be breeding asf in a couple months?! I hope itll be a while till then as I have been handling the first litter as it took a while to get the nerve sadly they have become less of hoppers if you know what I mean and more calm. Also the pet store wants tame ones to sell as pets.
