Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice
There are no laws in the USA that I am aware of about feeding live rodents.
Mouse traps and decon are legal, so what's the difference??

Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice
According to my local pet store they are not allowed to sell rodents as feeders because of animal cruelty laws.
That being said I never checked myself.

Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice

New Brunswick Canada.
Don't get me wrong. They sell feeders but they won't sell them to you if you ask for feeders....... yet they feed live to their stock. Brilliant huh?

Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice
Over here there has to be a very strict separation of feeder mice/rats and pet mice/rats. Our local store have gotten around this by only selling feeder rats that are pure white, any that have marking arent sold, all their pet rats have markings.
Price also puts people off - £3 for 4 adult rat feeders or £8 for one live pet rat

Can you buy "glue traps" where you live??
Those have to be the single most cruel method to kill a rodent ever devised by man.
The mouse gets all wrapped up in glue and then starves to death (if dehydration does not kill it first) and/or peels off their skin as they try frantically to escape.
I know that here in the USA anyone who wants to can buy those "traps" at any Wal Mart...
So in my mind, how in the hell can ANYONE call feeding a live mouse to a snake cruel, when the snake kills it's prey far more humanely and quickly than sticking it in a puddle of resin glue to starve to death slow.

Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice
I roll my eyes at those government officials who decide that you are committing "animal cruelty" by allowing something happen that naturally happens in the wild.
Death-by-snake is much more humane for a mouse than death-by mouse traps, glue traps, even cats, hawks... cats take much enjoyment in torturing their prey...
SOMEHOW it's ok for those same Government officials to eat, say, some steak? How do they think the steak got there? Someone raised, then killed a cow. No different than raising, then killing mice for your snake. Mice are livestock.

Re: Delaware law for feeding live mice
Actually pareee spring and bar mouse traps are the most humane way to kill a mouse.
