    Kids are fine. I have 4 and 6 yearold. My 4 yearold likes to hold and play with rats before they are givin to our animals.

    Its a bitter sweet for them to play with a cute rat but they understand and accept it.

    You transition it into a learning experience.
    The younger they get exposed they understand better.

    Kids are better about it than adults

    if you cant accept it or have worries, start off with feeding insects to animals.

    Re: When is it ok to expose children to live feeding ?

    My kids have been watching and helping during feeding time with no issues. Like someone else mentioned there is no blood. They see more blood and violence on video game commercials than on feeding day.
    Also my 5 year old girl likes to hold the cute little fuzzy rats when we are feeding the hatchlings.
