I was simply trying to be honest. My compassion for the mouse worked against me, I could not bring myself to hit it hard enough to be humane.

C02 chambers are OK if you mass produce, and or freeze them, but I have gotten used to feeding FK (freshly killed) prey, so it is more realistic to just thwack them.

I am getting spoiled on the frozen stuff though, and with the affordable shipping from Rodent Pro, I may just start selling my mice to the pet store, or sell off the whole colony.

It's a lot easier in many ways to just thaw and serve. and reality wise, cheaper. Mice feed, constant attention, etc... it's taxing, when really I'd rather spend that effort on my reptiles.
