i feed f/t and i enjoy feeding time.my bp has an amazing feeding response and sometimes makes me laugh,especially when shes hanging out in her tree,shoots out of her hide,strikes vertically or swallows backwards.i have seen a friend of mine feed live and it doesnt bother me,i used to raise rats in elementary to feed my teachers snake and felt no remorse.but if its a live pinky or fuzzy i would definately feel something,they are just so cute.so i voted the mid..

my ex also had a pet rat named Sasha that was the most amazing rat ever,so much personality.that rat would hang out on your shoulders and just chill.if you talked to her she would look at you.a very smart rat,i would definately feel bad if the live mouse or rat had personality like that and i would keep it. when i was a kid i chose which rats were next by which ones were just stupid and annoying,i protected the ones with personality..
