Feeding size

[AlexisFitzy]

Apparently I was doing it wrong. I was holding the feeder like I would hold a F/T (by the tail) How do you use tongs to feed live?

You don't... you just place the feeder in the snakes enclosure and let the snake do its thing. You want the feeder to be calm when placed in the snakes enclosure, holding it by the tail is not good for the feeder and will put your snake at risk for getting a bite.

Edit: And put yourself at risk for a bite too Lol. Rat bites are not fun.
