    Re: frogs in chinatown market

    is there a reasonably humane method of killing a frog?
    not that I need to now, but there may come a day when it could be handy to have a frog in the freezer

    hmm thats a hard one you could take its back legs and hit it aginst a counter or something, you could cut of his head (but thats bloody) and you would have to feed the head seperatly, or you could freeze them alive

    As far as humane killing of frogs, if you take a frog and drop him into scalding hot water, it dies in about 1 second or less, with its body completely extended in the perfect feeding position. Then I wrap them in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn, and put them in a freezer bag. I am sure some may not call that humane, but its the fastest, most painless way I know of, and cant be any worse than "thumping".. I have only tried it with treefrogs.
