Glad you decided to not feed the snake wild critters.

There's a possibility that you are both wrong on this........
We've heard of a possible site..... They could be Ratsnakes though.......But I do know of wild Ratsnakes as well so anything is possible.... The climates are the same....

Freezing it will kill off any parasites.... But Elle is right... Rat poison or mouse poison in this case........ Best chuck it.....
 
Thanks mike :) I let my mum deal with it, we have caught more since, too! :( Eww.

I know that feeding rodents would be a bad choice, but as someone else said on another forum, if he hunts birds or rabbit, he'll feed em to his family and other pets "I guess, dogs or ferrets" And so if its good enough for his family, its good enough for his snakes..

Something to remember next time you pay like £10 for a rabbit for burm food.. Go shoot a bird or rabbit :p
 
I used to bother with a guy that shot birds for his BCC... Thing is he was a proper lunatic so I never put much store in any advice he gave me... LOL
Careful who you listen to my young apprentice
 
If you were sure they'd not been near poison, then after freezing to kill off parasites, I shouldn't see a problem at all. I'd still be too worried about the poison issue personally, in case a neighbour had been putting out bit for them.
(Because my new kittens were from stables, fed rabbits by their mother, they had to have a serious worming regime, I guess mummy cat didn't know to freeze/thaw first!)

Seems fair enough.

You ask why I consider it.. Because I dont like to see wasted life. I am afterall a vegetarian and feeding a dead animal to something higher in the foodchain that would potentially eat wild mice in the wild seemed something to consider.

Out of curiosity, why are you a vegetarian?
