Mice?

Do you have to feed snakes mice or is there an alternitive to them? I was planning on getting a corn
or a BP but my mom didn't want me to have to feed it mice (because she thinks they are cute) so I got
a beardie ^_^ . I even told her about the frozen ones but she still said no.

Thanks,

 

Ball pythons and corns need to eat mice/rats.

 

They do eat mice. Do you have a petco near you? I know they sell individual wrapped f/t mice. You would only need to get on a week and it wouldnt be around long. This is more expensive then buying in bulk but its an option.

 

what does f/t mean and are the mice alive, or dead or are they frozen, ect.

 

f/t means frozen/thawed...so no, they aren't alive. Some shops sell individual frozen mice/rats, some have little containers of them, nicely packaged so you won't see what they are (guessing Mom doesn't want to know what's in the freezer) or you can buy bulk and save a lot. Most snakes will eat f/t, you don't have to feed live really.
