Re: Very Proud New Owner
Thanks everyone!
Hard to say how Mikey will handle the live feeding. He's very interested in the mechanics of how snakes eat and asks very straight forward questions. On the other hand, he's involved pretty much daily in the rat colony. We reassured him that the big rats that have names and make the babies, and the little ones that have names (the future breeders) are never fed off and that seemed to suit him fine.
Adam (or any others with kids around 5) how do you handle this? Anything in particular this age group reacts to good or bad?

Re: Very Proud New Owner
My kids being Lion King fans made the explanation very easy. I was worried about the first feeding (seems so long ago) But I stood with them explained what was happening and then the circle of life discussion happened. My youngest was 6 at the time, her reaction was "cool" she never flinched so we either prepared her well.. or she is demented.
