2.) I also don't like having to keep frozen rodents in my freezer, and resent having to purchase a separate freezer just for rodents.

3.) I don’t like having to try and simulate a live animal’s movement in order to stimulate a feeding response. I feel like I somehow cheating them by going through great lengths to create a natural world for them.

4.) My preference would be to purchase F/K food, but it’s not an option.

5.) It took me a long time to come around to the idea of live food because I didn’t want to ‘kill’ anything. Today I discovered that I don’t have to, the snakes do all of the killing, and my role is to protect them in the process.

6.) I don’t have any blood soaked baggies to toss and I feel like my animals are happier. It went so fast today, If I’d had blinked I would have missed it. Much faster than the whole thaw, heat, dangle routine….

I feel so free now, its hard to explain.
Its not hard to explain, all your reasons are weak & self centred..how can you say you dont want to kill anything, the snakes do it!..You just feel that you need to intervene crushing heads & feet..if you want to go down the Natural route..leave them be to do what comes naturally, your interference is not required..A few minor scratches or nips will do no harm
