>I understand the health benefits, etc. The problem that I have found is >that I can't seem to find any "pre-killed" mice.... I used to volunteer at a wildlife center in Virginia. We were rehabbing birds of prey, etc., that had been injured or had illnesses. Most of them ate rodents - pinkies, mice or rats - although, luckily, most of them were content with the dead variety of rodent, as opposed to needing to catch and kill it themselves. Anyway, we bought our rodents from a company which I know also sells them to the public. It was called "The Gourmet Rodent", I believe, and they are shipped frozen, in bags. The company emphasized also that they are disease-free, raised in sanitary conditions, and dispatched in a humane manner. I don't have the company contact info. .. but I would imagine a Web search could find them for you, or most pet stores which sell rodent-consuming reptiles ought to be able to help you find them. - Ela Ela Heyn Harborside Mail Stop 3024 201-860-3336 [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2757]
