When is it ok to expose children to live feeding ?

I think you should wait to see if your child is interested in the feeding process first! Just because they are interested in the hobby does not mean they want to see a snake eat.

I think that if they are interested in the hobby, they need to understand all aspects of it. They need to be taught about the animal and its needs. It needs to eat. It needs to eat rodents. Sometimes they need to eat live ones. THIS IS NORMAL, THIS IS OK.

If you are going to have a pet, you need to know all the responsibilities that go with them. If your kid wants a dog you dont skip over the poop scooping duties because they might think its gross. Dogs poop, poop has to be scooped.

People need to stop sheltering all these mamby pamby kids. Give them some credit. Give them a chance. Empower them, don't hold them back.
