mice? negative....maybe for your RAT snake...but for a FISH?...stick to worms & vitamin enhanced pellets...remember: if you show off to your friends that a FISH can eat a mouse; then you might need to check your definition of spare time
just stick with worms... how can you possibly stomach watching your fish eating something like a mouse. sometimes you need to draw a line in the sand and decide what is decent and what isn't.
You have to admit, it would be totally awesome to do it when your friends are over, and to impress the ladies.

i mean, i don't think a frat and high school are the same thing.
that's pretty lame you would want to feed a mouse to your fish to impress somebody though.
if somebody showed me that i would think they were an idiot.
so nah, fish aren't made to eat thinks like mice.
it might not die from it but it definitely isn't good for it.
they cannot digest think like hair.
if you dissected it and fed it a portion of the mouse's insides after properly cleaning them, this would be be okay.
i wouldn't think that would be worth the effort though and it's not cool to show your friends.
in short, don't do it.

Lol, gotta love Japes.
I saw that video on youtube, was grim... very grim. You've really got to evaluate what kind of person you are if bumping of rodents gets you off.
Isn't killing lesser mammals the first sign of a serial killer? seriously?

While I'm not condoning the whole feed your fish a live mouse and put it on youtube mentality I wonder if an occasional prekilled or frozen/thawed pinky mouse wouldn't be a nice source of protein for a predatory fish? I'd think any kind of regular rodent feeding would be too fatty a diet for a dovii or anything else, but as an occasional feeding why not? Also the parasite/disease risk drops to nearly zero in contrast to feeding feeder fish.
is a mouse THAT much more nutritious than pellet food or worms or what not? 
you guys talk like a mouse is 100% protein or something... it's not. at the end of the day it's probably got more crap inside of it that a fish can't even digest. if one is so enamored to feed your fish something with legs or what not, go find a small frog... at least the animal matter inside a frog is something a fish would feasibly be able to digest.
