You may have problems getting live prey unless you've raised it yourself. Here in the UK there are strict rules governing the procreation and sale of 'pinkies' (baby mice killed "humanely" when a few hours old) and chicks (male chicks, by-product of the egg industry) for feeding pets like snakes, lizards and other raptors. It would be impossible to get living prey for any purpose.

I would suggest, a few healthy mice, a few owls, not a problem. It only becomes a problem if you do it for a week or more and then suddenly stop. Just a few would be mimicking the dispersal of a nest of young. My cats have had lucky streaks where in one afternoon, they've brought in several young mice, just leaving the nest for the first (and last) time.
