That sounds mean to the snake, wouldn't it stress them out? I've read up on this method, and some say that eventually the snake gets so annoyed with the rat/mouse that it eventually just eats it. It sounds like force feeding to me, I personally wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary. Am I right about this, or am I missing the point?

I think the goal is to get the snake to recognize the mouse as food so you don't have to do that every time. If you only have to do that a time or two I'd say it's probably not too stressful for the snake.
