Yeah but if you try making an issue out of fish then the fishing industry would have to go also, and that aint going to happen lol
just did search like you suggested still cant find valid points that back up your argument. you want me to kill mouse then freeze then defrost then feed over just plain feed and let nature do her thing. Can anyone explain how its cruel, im not doing it for enjoyment, the snakes are doing what comes naturally and why cant you feed your lizards dead bugs or is it you cant be bothered and there for its not cruel. if i was a mummy insect and you were feeding my baby insects i reckon id think its cruel
you sound like a lovely person to be around
Bugs dont blink so it could be really slow and painful
how said my outdoor pits were not locked, padlocks are cheap and never had one escape (not that it would matter since we get heaps of wild browns and red bellies cruising threw all the time. )
I've seen a wild snake take to frozen food after a lifetime of live food. So I don't believe that once the snake is started on live food it can't go back to frozen
Just found thisBut don't they by law have to be in a locked room also?
Go feed ur snakes live prey then...... and when they get older try change them onto large frozen rats GL With that one mate then once not eating u feed a live adult rat the rat bites ur snake then u have a niiiice big vet bill or a dead snake, Why question authoritys if you cant do any thing to change it, Rules are rules we don't make them we follow them, Its a privilidge not a right to keep reptiles here in Australia abide by the rules and every ones happy.
LOL by the sounds of it he doesn't exactly have much regard for the rules....
I don't understand why people keep accusing the OP of trying to advocate live feeding? Granted he said he feeds live to one snake but I thought the original question was trying to ask why live vertebrates are not ok but inverts are? I think this point has been lost in accusations, misinterpretations and general dismissal of the original question because "they're just bugs".
I'm no animal activist by any means but I'd certainly be interested to find out more about invertebrates' ability to feel pain and whether it is worth considering when live feeding.
Just wondering if people feed live food to lizards and whether there is legalities with that. Are you allowed to feed live bugs and if so why arent you allowed to feed live mice etc
But he does care for the well being of our little bug friends.......he only wants some fair treatment for them, i mean, they dont blink afterall, & that is painful! :lol:
But don't they by law have to be in a locked room also?
Snakes don't go looking for an enclosure to live in, a water bowl to drink from or a light bulb to bask under either do they mate? They also get eaten by foxes, cats, eagles, goannas. Don't compare wild snakes to captive snakes unless you plan on releasing your captives - that is the height of stupidity.snakes dont go looking for a freezer and a bucket of hot water out the bush do they ?......they take nice live warm possums , bilbys , bushrats , wallabies , koalas, parrots , cats , baby birds in nests ,......the list goes on.
