can i ask how most of you store your snake food pinkies etc ....

just i can imagine my mrs being a bit funny about using the home freezer so what im getting at does anyone have them mini freezers for their own use?

also when they produce the mice for food how are they killed?

I think most mice are gassed with CO2 to kil them. A swift smack against a hard surface will also work well!

I keep mine in the normal freezer in a sealed tuppaware box (clearly labelled!)so as not to upset anyone. Thinking of getting a smasll seperate freezer for them when I move though.

I jus put mine in a few bags and put them in our chest freezer in the garage, which is our main freezer. I couldnt see the point in buyin a speratre freezer to keepa few pinkies or rats in.

I think they are gased

yeah seen a few bargains in loot and such for mini freezers

ive read on certain forums about mice sausages of something which is ground up mouse in a sausage form anyone heard of these or use them

but it seemed funny to me would thoaght it best to feed whole things

Never heard of them. But wouldnt use them. Especially if we had a barbeque aranged coz that could turn out nasty if put on by mistake!

Ive heard of them but dont know anyone that feeds them. You're right in thinking whole food items are better, as the snake then gets all the nutrients from the bone/internal organs etc. I'm not entireky sure how much of the mouse goes into the sausages!
