I don't think it's sad, I just think of it as snake food

Re: How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?
I have been feeding rats to snakes for ten plus years, so I am used to it. I don't think its sad.

Re: How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?
I don't feel bad when I feed live nor does it upset me that my snakes eat rodents. What upsets me is people thinking its humane to stun or prekill a rodent by whacking it against a hard surface. Thats the only time I really feed bad for the little critters.

Re: How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?
They are part of the process...I do stun my mice and rats, but for the record I only feed live to those who refuse frozen. The only one is my Pastel female but she is a little thing so trying to get her some weight on her before switching to frozen as she refuses frozen right now.

I tried this before. My snakes look at me like I'm a crackhead when I present them a recently killed or stunned rodent. They'll take f/t or live entirely fine, though.

Tell me about it. I was going to feed one of these off a couple of weeks ago...her name is now Maggie & she watches TV with me at night.

Re: How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?
I have no problem with the feeding. It's culling the rat pups that's starting to get difficult but I'm very very new to rat breeding.

Re: How do you feel when feeding mice, rats, etc.?
I do not want to say that I hate rates and mice but I dislike them very much. But it does bother me to feed live (to my BPs that will not take F/T) prey to my snakes. I just tell myself it is all part of the cycle. I have been keeping snakes for as long as I can remember and I think it will always bother me.
