As a rat pet owner, thank you for doing this humane. It means a lot.
-
You handled this very well. It is a sensitive topic, but I firmly feel that for the reptile's own safety, it's best to feed euthanized rodents and at least this way you know they're fresh and that they were treated and raised well before being euthanized. It's a "necessary evil" but I liked that you put a towel over the case, it shows empathy. Thank you for making this video.

I appreciate you doing it the humane way. You've earned yourself a subscriber sir

My dogs eat chicken, steak, salmon.. just because I didn’t kill the animal doesn’t make any difference does it
-
Chris Hardwick, you have been a big part in getting me interested in keeping pet snakes. This video is on a tricky topic and I think you handled it well and with respect. Thanks for the tips
-
I want to say thank you for your compassion with this very difficult topic! You are amazing! And thank your for showing the proper way to so it!

Thank you for making this video. I have an unintended pregnancy with one of my guinea pigs and when you sell babies, there's always a risk that they'll be used for snake food. I have radically accepted this, but wanted to make sure that it was done humanely. This seems very humane.

This helped me so much today. Found a nest of em in my apartment this morning and need to dispatch them but didn't want to cause unnecessary pain. This seems like a much gentler way to do it. Thank you.

Those little awkward giggles are just killing; like the CO2

I feel like 98 percent of those who watch this secretly wished you hadn't covered the chamber

Thanks for your clarity. I’m sure this was uncomfortable to cover but it was very informative. I’m about to get my first snake. I’ve watched several of your videos before and liked them. Subscribing now. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this! I'm into exotic keeping right now. I love animals in general so I didn't consider keeping a snake as they are eating live animals such as rodents, rabbits etc. that's just so painful to watch. Glad to know there are ways to pre kill the feeders painlessly. Guess I might get one soon.

THANK YOU so much for this, I needed a good way for us to do this, we have been feeding live and we hate to think of a rat going through that.
-
Thank you Chris for showing this method used for feeding your snakes. It is quick and humane. My concern is always not to ever let an animal suffer.
-
Thank you very much for the information in this video Chris I just bought two of your pastel head Desert ghost one possible. I have been feeding live but want to move over to euthanized I am going to follow the process you laid out in this video. I really appreciate all the info you have put out on YouTube and just know you have a very strong community behind you and I can’t speak for everyone but I’d greatly appreciate all of the education and thoughtfulness you put into your videos thank you very much

Your the best ! Needed this ! Didn’t think about checking your channel first but saw your name pop up and definitely clicked on it first. Awesome! Thank you!
-
Thank you for sharing this! I just started breeding for my snake food and was not sure how to handle the next step.
-
Such a good guy. Yes this was very nice way to feed your animals. I am a firm believer this feeding helps with OUR anxiety, our mood, or guilt, frame of mind....so we can truly enjoy the ball python journey...thank you
-
Question, where can I find a tank and container to do this?
-
No where in my area has small frozen rats only medium and large rn so I had to buy a live small rat and I don’t wanna feed my snake a live rat so this helped a lot thank you so much
