Yea you need to grab by the base or grab the rear hips...

Every large scale some point in business runs out of CO2 and resorts to cervical dislocation till tanks are refilled.

Alternative to filling tanks of CO2 is Dry Ice. It cost about $0.99/lb.
Place a little piece of Dry Ice in a rubbermaid bowl, add water, poke a whole in the lid and you have CO2.
Just my $0.02

A few thoughts
1) Yes it is a great, even on large rats. It is the preferred method in fact for dispatching meat rabbits at rabbit farms, so is still good for even larger animals.
2) CO2 is tricky to do right, and using baking soda+vinegar or dry ice gives you practically no control over flow, which I don't like.
