Can't feed rodent looking prey, Advice..?

Question - Feeding

I've been looking into getting a ball python, but my aunt (who i live with) is terrified of mice and rats. I've been trying to look into alternatives that can still meet a ball pythons nutritional needs, but my only lead (reptalinks) seems to only have rabbit links (saw a size chart that listed rat and pinky links, but when speaking to a human representative they said they only had larger animal links?) Is there any hope for me? Im willing to do or look into anything. All I need is a food that doesnt explicitly look like a mouse, live or not. Please help or share any advice. Thank you very much!

UPDATE; guess who sold their aunt in the idea! After much negotiation I've convinced her to give it a try under the promise id keep her far away from the rodents, dead or alive lol. Thank everyone for being kind and replying to my post, as stupid as it was!
