True. I guess I am dealing with the 'humane' aspect of it, (or I guess relative humane treatment). I don't have a problem buying live mice for him but I've heard f/t are safer in terms of health and because he wont have to deal with killing it, thus potentially getting hurt. He seems to never have an issue, but I still worry about it while I watch him.
I also feed in a separate enclosure because thats what his previous owners did. Dont know about opinions on that.
