[QUOTE="PamCz, post: 44935, member: 3784"] Yeah, I was just surprised to see that, other than causing obesity if fed mice too often, it doesn't really seem to be a problem. I had bought into the myth of it causing bad molts, and have seen a ton of other people spreading that myth online. But, indeed, a frozen (thawed in warm water) pinkie every now & again won't actually hurt them. But, since T's can be trained to take a dead pinkie, a live one, IMO, is cruel. :( Not picking a fight with anyone reading here, or anything...to each his own. It's just that I used to have hamsters as a kid...and I still really like rodents. :) (Uh...not wild rodents loose in my house...only the ones in a cage! Just clarifying!:p) [/QUOTE]
