Maybe it is better for them to eat them "fresh"? But wouldn't feeding then live animals make the snake more violent?  |

Lionheads mixed breed with netherland dwarfs is common, it is called a hybrids. Some of these hybrids will have manes but some doesn't .(for info: if u breed 2 lionhead hybrids without mane together,u wun get lionhead hybrids with mane) Breeding these hybrids is so as to improvise the some bad quality purebreed lionheads. E.g. Breed to have shorter ears, cobby body. To combine the pros of the 2 breeds together to create a higher quality breed of lionheads. This is so as lionheads are not recognised in ARBA yet, therefore there is still space of improvement to invent a nicer looking lionhead before they decided how to set the standards of a showable lionhead. Therefore cross-breeding btw nds and lionheads are not despised.  BUT selling bunnies at 3 weeks is realli immoral and irresponsible,the bunnies will be more vunerable to diseases it is weaned too early |

i dunno why must feed baby hammies, mices and buns leh. maybe 'cause snakes dun like those chicken meat. maybe it's for the thrill lor. some owners even feed live mices or hammies to their snakes. thrill to see snakes attack their prey.  pinkies contains more nutrients as compared to chicken meat purchased from super markets. In the older days, heard that some old people eat mice pinkies raw and alive for the nutrients in them  But for snakes... the smaller ones feed 1 pinky every 2 -3 days enough liao.. for bigger ones.. some time 2 - 3 per day lor... Pple feed live feed is cos they want their exotics to retain some form of animalistic behaviour, and not become too docile lor... call it sadism if u wish |

Daniel> IT's true abt old ppl eating pinkies............
My grandma told me that they'll swallow it down with wine........supposed to be very nutritious since the pups are feeding solely on mum's milk and nothing else........that's why when I had my first litter of bb hammies in the house, I've been watching my Grandma if she wld steal those "nutritious bbs"........thank God she didnt!!
As far as I'm concerned, I'll squash a snake's head whenever I see one........juz simply dislike them.......yucky snakes!!

i still patronise P Kiosk.. although i can't stand the way they house the rabbits.. it's really stinks inside!!! dunno how long they take to change the BC bedding, but the bedding alreadi like turn brown and mouldy and have flies!!! then the bunnies are so cramped.. squeeze into one place, some females are actually housed with males! the whole place where the rabbits are kept stink like crazy.. plus the air con makes it worse ;D there was once when some person want to purchase a rabbit for breeding purposes.. and i dunno why she wanna do that cos i heard from her conversation that she already got some babies.. she seems quite inexperienced.. then i think she bought a lionhead from P Kiosk.. then that shop woman there still can say " the doe might be pregnant, got free gift" the people there are friendly.. but apart from the boss[the guy with specs] most of them noe nuts about rabbits.. one even say that grown rabbits cant feed too much veg, will die.  |

They change the BC bedding every 3 weeks I think. Coz last time I wanted to buy BC from them, the girl said I very waste money to change bedding everday. She said only need to change every 3 weeks, and they change every 3 weeks also. And told me that its very clean, no smell. But true lah that time the bedding was quite clean. Probably just change only.
