You should only feed live prey as a last result if your snake not feeding,is your snake not eating and losing weight? Have a look at this pic and imagine the damage these teeth could do to your snake.
I know its not nice to feed live and i wish they would eat defrosted but have tryed and they just dont care so ive always just bought live food which they eat in seconds But if any one has any tips on feeding defrosted food then im open to options ive tryed everything so all help needed
cheers Danny

No i must admit have not tryed fresh-killed i have just had live to put in there they are both on Live rat pups at the mo which is working out really good they eat within seconds bang and straight on them.The place where i normally get them from has not got any this week its the second time he has had none so wondered if there was any other places i could get some live food really.I will convert them to defrosted as soon as they get a bit bigger the lemon pastel is about 20 weeks old and the albino is about 14 weeks old and both doing well
Cheers Danny

Yes, but did Glenn hatch them or import them, the only reason I ask is that quite a lot of American breeders feed live and the imports can be difficult to swap over.
However, with Glenn's reputation I would be surprised that he sold live feeding only Royals. Did he suggest the live feeding?
Well i bought both royals from glen and he did say they was on defrosted food.I waited the week and tryed them on defrosted food and nothing so i waited another week and nothing again. So i spoke to glenn and he said come in with it and he will have a look for me see if he can help and he did help and ever since then they have been on live food and doing well

I would try all options before live feeding. Its not that i am against it (to me snake comes first) but i would have thought rat pups are relatively harmless and dont put up a fight. but when you get to weeners and above they have well formed teeth and claws and i presume will put up alot more of a fight which could cause alot of damage to your royal.
well its feeding day today and dont think i can get any live food today so will try tonight with defrosted fingers crossed.Any tips on feeding from you guys??

Right got ya now will try that tonight then.What is the best all round food for royals i got told mice are ok but Rats are better and gerbils are fatty and hard to convert them back once they have been on gerbils and not sure about chicks??
