That's the way I do it... :gj:

once you get bit youll start using tongs :D

i have had de-gloving happen as well as their tails fallin off and once belly opened up and spilled guts into the sink full of water. and when i get the rats who were euthanized via cervical dislocation i have had a few heads just fall off. i havent had any problems when i started ordering from RodentPro. so im thinking it had to do with the source of the rats i had in El Paso

Lol beauty of bein a paramedic. Love the gore!
