Hii I'm new here =). Great place, yea.

I've been feeding my ball live food, his previous owners (I've had him for a year) said he was doing just fine with live food. Buuut I just don't like the thought of them biting him and stuff like that. The pet store sells them live already, and I cant bare the thought of killing it myself, because I used to have mice/rats as pets so I automatically care about the little buggers, even though they're gonna be eatin by my Skittles (my snakey snake). So what do you guys do? Something that's not so brutal, I've been told you can smack em up against the wall, which sounds horrid. What else?

Also, the rat I put in a few days ago for him to feed, he hasn't eaten yet. And we have nowhere to put her...She sleeps with him though, but this has happened once previously. Nothing bad will happen to Skittles right?
