How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?

[J.Coils]

i dont feel anything..granted i only feed my snakes f/t but i used to feed my monitor lizard live and that didn't bother me either..i asked my mom to pick me up some food for him once and she brought me a rat pup..ugh..i took it back to the store and got mice lol..i couldnt do it. later on down the line i actually ended up with two dumbo rats as pets and they were great

but no..i feel nothing for the f/t mice i just want my snake to be happy and healthy

I feel like I should be sad because a lot of people would be, but I really don't feel sad at all. It's like I'm expected to be sad so it's almost like I want to be because of this, but in the end I really don't like mice/rats much.

No feelings about it , I feed rabbits , rats, all types of rodents, I do prekill before I feed but just for the safety of my reptiles.

Just snake food, but that doesnt mean I am not grateful for having them and what they provide for my guys.

I've had to look after my friends snakes plenty times when he's been away, and they all eat live. I've had to go and buy a mouse or rat from the pet store, and feed it to the snakes, and on one particularly fiesty rat, I had to stun it a bit, and it doesn't really bother me. Having said that, I will be feeding F/T when I get my python, it just seems a little more fair on the rodent.

It's hard when you love both animals. Over the past four years, I've had at least 30 pet rats. Most of my income went to the rats, but I was fine with it because it made me happy making them happy. Two of my girls had a litter.. And well, yea, that's the story.
Then I held a snake for the first time, and got hooked. xD I've gotten used to feeding f/t so I don't really mind it. Although, I never fed a rat to a snake, just mice. Oh not yet anyway.
