If you are gonna feed live. Use rats, young rats are very "innocent" and most dont even fight back much. Mice are nasty, specialy the older ones.

I always thought it was the opposite? The rats are the ones that are nasty and the mice are not.

What are your guys suggestions feeding live.....should you pre kill it?

I feed live mice and and DO NOT leave them in the cage. We feed w tongs and watch until it is dead. I dont leave it in there wandering around. But I can say a mouse last week grabbed onto my snake, didnt hurt her but let me tell you I no longer feel bad for them.
