Default Sleep Deprevation. What I think about trying to sleep!

Laying in bed thinking wierd thoughts trying to sleep and this came into my head!

If one of your pets died would you feed it to your snake?

ie, Budgie, pet rat!!!!!

Not that I'm saying I would but it just popped in to my head and kept me awake another hour

i have, and will do so if i am sure the other pet is healthy.

In some way it means the animal is living on it another, which its nice. Rather than it being eaten by worms in the garden.

I have done and will do again. I've had mantids have bad moults and are deformed and instead of freeze them i have put them in with a healthy mantid to be munched.

sumtimes i do: depends if its an amphib then no, there dangerous to eat. But i fed my old green lizards to my hognose: it saves money plus its nice for the snake to have a treat.

EDIT: i fed my DEAD lizards to my hognose.
