It is irresponsible. What if the mouse/rat was hurting the snake in the process of it constricting? You wouldn't know and wouldn't be able to stop it because, 'oh its such a cute animal and I can't watch it die'.
Care and the wellbeing of your snake should come before compassion for a mouse or a rat. Continue feeding f/t.
Btw, I also have two pet rats.
