Re: The ethics of Live Feeding Pacman

Well the original question was about pacman frogs, not snakes. Snakes tend to kill their prey then swallow. If I understand it correctly, pacman don't. If that is true, I would not do it. Is your animal refusing food, or was it more curiousity?

Well over here in Aus we can't have these so it was a curiosity question. I personally wouldn't feed live to any animal, other than inverts to reptiles, but I didn't want to start a debate because I know alot of people feed lives.

I ask because of the animal still being alive when eaten. It's crueler, IMO, than live feeding a snake. Especially when you see how voracious these frogs are when it comes to feeding, the would probably just as easily accept a F/T mouse danglin from tweezers.
