So I'm needing lots of comments about how it really isn't cruel, and they really don't suffer, and its nature taking its course, and our little one really needs to eat, and and and....

I just feel so bad for the poor little mouse
Yes, it is all that you have said. I feed all of my ball pythons live rats. I breed my own rats. I really enjoy breeding rats. I like them, but when it comes down to my snakes, I love them. So I don't mind to feed them live. I have tried f/t and it didn't work. I want my snakes to eat for me ever week, and I don't see any reason to starve them becasue I don't want to give them live. Over time it will less hard on you. Hope this helps.
