So if I owned a snake, I would probably deem it more acceptable to buy frozen mice from a pet shop and feed that, rather than breed my own mice. Its just about morals at the end of the day.
Frozen mice are horrible from pet shops they are over bred are not in the best of health.

You dont have to breed your own mice to feed your snake, you can look for other breeders of mice that sell them as snake food.

Healthy mouse = Healthy snake.

I dont have a snake, but in the near future i will be getting one and id rather give them healthy mice rather than pet shop mice.

Maybe you didnt open this as a discussion but thats what youve got as youve just said how horrible people are for doing it you havent researched the pros it only the cons.

Also not every mouse breeder culls down on litters and not every rat breeder tells to truth about not culling as im sure some do otherwise people wouldnt be able to by frozen rats or rat pups and rat pinkies.
