I think it's sad, but at the same time I don't

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

OK so I'm the odd ball. It kills me! I keep thinking it will get easier but it never does. I have learned not to get too attached to the "food". But, I dread feeding day every week.
And, yes I do eat meat. That's why I don't have a pet cow.

I think its sad in the mildest of ways, but whenever i feed live i just think of it as what they do in the wild. its a dog eat dog world and its the way the creator of snakes and reptiles made it.

The problem when you breed rats or mice and you feel bad for the extra fluffy/cute ones, is that your breeding Colony gets a whole lot bigger that you want it LOL
I do not feel bad feeding off male rodents because I know I cant keep any. I do feel a little bad though when I play with them before I feed them off

Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

I don't like killing another living creature but it is nature. I chose to keep snakes and it is my responsibility to feed them what nature intended them to eat.

When I feed live I prefer not to watch, I know what is happening but I just don't need to see it. I do get pangs especially when it's a prekilled guinea pig or bunny. Sometimes with a hamster I'll get a pang as well but not if it is a bitey little bastard LOL. But not with mice or ASFR, I don't like them and don't think they are cute at all.
