I can understand what you are going threw my family ( mostly my sister ) are against my rat breeding to feed my snakes. Most of them are ok with the snake hobby. But my sister was a pill over Christmas due to me breeding then euthanize my rats as snake food. The thing that I find absolutely hypocritical about the whole situation is she raises chickens as food and for eggs. But rats are too cute to breed and freeze for snake food. I am being inhumane in the killing of the rats. I use a CO2 chamber and take very good care of the rats. They are all fed well and all my breeders are treated as pets. Vet visits if needed and great food as well as play time. But all she could talk about was me freezing rats to feed to snakes. It was a very unpleasant family event and well most of the family just did not want to get involved but who could blame them. Then after the holiday she asked if she could adopt some of the babies I have to save them from snakes. What so you do with family but try to get along I guess
