Slightly off topic...I think mice and rats are very cute. They also make great food for medium sized predators.
I MUCH prefer feeding live since it is easier and more natural, the snakes clearly prefer it.
However, lately I mostly do frozen rats, just for the convenience. The snake IMO does a very quick humane killing. It takes only seconds for the suffocation to happen, and then it is done. IT IS ALSO PERFECTLY NATURAL! millions and millions of rodents are killed by predators each year. It is normal, and if people are AGAINST it, I think they are nuts. As killing and eating is how life works.
if I had the time to keep live rodents, I would definitely do live feedings. Frozen/thawed makes feeding more of a hassle for me.
