have requested a price for large C02 cannisters (the 4ft to 6ft bottles) in the long run, I think it may be cheaper than the bicarb and vinegar...apparently because of the quietness of the release of gas, the mice don't hear it and so just pass out without realising anything is wrong....much better for my concsience.... Oh why can't my snakes be vegetarians....(are there any vegetarian snakes?) |

I just pick mine up by the base of the tail then whack them sharply on the edge of something. It's instant lights out.

Re: freezing mice......humane question...well lots of
OK, well the official line from RSPCA is to...(wasn't i brave asking them!)
For pinkies.... wrap them in tissue paper, place them on a pre frozen tray, put in freezer.. older mice, use C02 gas very slowly increasing until they pass out, then once unconscous flood chamber with c02. |
