Did you ever feed your pets live prey?

I bought a pet Tegu last month and the other day I got some ferrets from the pet store that I'm going to feed it.

My cat feeds himself mice and a rat around the farm occasionally. Otherwise, he eats cat food.

You shouldn't feed pets live prey that aren't bred for being live prey. As far as I'm aware ferrets aren't bred to be live prey and Tegu would be better to eat a small rodent like a mouse or small rat. Still it's not recommended to do live prey feeding as prey can fight back and hurt/kill your Tegu, especially a ferret which are quite large and have a nasty bite.

Stick to frozen. There's less chance of disease and you can find once you spoil them with live they refuse to eat anything else afterwards.

With the ferret, my money is on the ferret.

One of my buddies in high school had one of those things. Hopefully your experience will be more enjoyable.

I use to have a turtle that I would feed goldfish or crickets
