Default Horned frogs being filmed feeding on youtube

why do those people film themselves feeding live mice or other frogs to their horned frogs and can be heard laughing and acting stupid in the background,I looked on there for live pictures of horned frogs to show my hubby and I couldnt watch,do the mice have to be fed live?

No. Mice do not have to be fed live.

It is better to feed them frozen-thawed pinkies and fuzzies (but only as a treat!) because live can injure your animal and it's not worth taking the risk.

I thought so,it looked awful,the poor mice were still live and wriggling about and the men were all laughing and joking about it,the mice must have been in alot of pain

Why do people film their snakes eating a mouse while playing some hideous heavy metal?
