I still fail to understand. They are reacting to the stimuli and conditions they recieved during their lives. They know they do not have to go all out to capture the animal. I don't think they are lazy because of that. They are just reacting to their environment. If your into the excitment point of view, yes, kind of boring. But for me personally, I enjoy just watching my animals do anything. Could be just me I suppose. As a pet owner I don't understand feeding for my own excitement. As an example, why don't people get all pumped up to feed their dogs? I have reptiles for the same reason people would have dogs. Obviously there are things that can never be the same, but why just because someone has a reptile do they feel the need to feed live for excitement purposes? I don't think its a strong argument for feeding live with the potential risks involved.
