It seemed so wrong, but felt so right...

...I had to crush the rats’ feet...I had to take my hemostats and crush his face to get him to calm down.

Maybe its just me. I hope not. But thats pretty horrific. How did that feel for you? Because if it were me I would be pretty upset at myself for doing something like this. The mouse didnt calm down. He had his face crushed.

Even tho they are feeders they still deserve your respect; they are keeping your snake alive after all.

Maybe I'm just a big softy.

edit: I just wanted to add that in the past when I have had to feed live I just use a small peice of cardboard from the back of a note pad to seperate any kicking feet / teeth from the snake. Just have to hold it there for 30 seconds or so lol
