Personally, I think you should have just fed F/T and be done with it. But I have to say that I am a little appaulled about your crushing feet and heads! That really is not humane in anyway! Don't get me wrong I have a female pastel that right now only eats live, and since I want to breed her next year I will continue her on live, but there is no way i would treat her food cruelly. Which in my opinion is what you did! There are more humane ways to offer live food, such as stunning or pithing.

"Stunning at Pithing?" What is that?
