I dont feel bad feeding them, just kinda think "aww " when I hear the little "EEEKKK!" but then it's over and done with and I'm over it.

I still haven't switched to f/t yet...I'm so terrified of defrosting incorrectly. I'm a germaphobe as it is....I have arguments with my BF all the time about how long we have to keep leftovers. (I say no more than 2 - 3 days MAX and he's like..."Psshh! A week is good!" .... I want to slap him haha)

I'm just afraid of the bacteria or if I put them in too warm/hot of water that they'll "cook" ...

I think it stems from my very first attempt to defrost a VERY large rat for my red tail about 4 years ago. I put it in a bag and then put it in some WAY too hot of water... my tiny little apartment I was in smelled like cooked rat for TWO WHOLE DAYS...I was more than tempted to take my dog and myself to a hotel until the stench was gone.

OMG *barf!!*

So yeah...that is why I haven't switched yet haha.
