Well, here's the thing. Some people really don't have the luxury of knowing EXACTLY where their feeders are coming from. If you get them at some generic pet store, they may be harboring some parasites or diseases. Unless you yourself are breeding them or overseeing the care of the feeder animals, you never truly know WHAT you are getting.
