Mice Thumping

how does one thump a mice and what does it do? How would you fresh kill? I am just curious because if my BP continues not to eat I may try feeding a fresh killed and transition him to f/t.

We do it thusly, hoss:

Get a couple of grocery-store type shopping bags (not paper) and double bag the mouse (dont want it splitting open trust me)

Make sure there is not a lot of air "bubbling" the bag and making it poofy

Grab it just below the handle and swing hard against a HARD surface (not drywall not wood something like brick or stone)

One blow ought to do it - it might still be twitching but unless you didnt swing hard enough or hit it against a softer surface it ought to just be death twitches.




Seems mean but if you swing hard enough death is instantaneous - don't worry about it unless you find yourself getting something out of it (in that case get your ass to the nearest Dahmer clinic).

I PUT THE MOUSE IN A ZIPLOC FREEZER BAG AND SMACK IT ON TH KITCHEN COUNTER. THEN WITH THE TONGS DO THE MOUSE SHUFFLE AND JOJO TAKES IT.

i just grab em by the tail, and slam em' on the floor. easy as that.

Its just a mouse they are not that hard to knock off. LOL

i just use a 22 caliber rifle and shoot it

LOL naw i just do what wizill does but i throw it at the floor

The last time i grabbed a live mouse and tried the throw it on the floor it bit me. I got so mad I let Jojo take care of him.

Just hold the mouse by the tail and slam him aginst the edge of a shelf, It's usually very quick and more painful for you than him.
Of course I like just to streach them, just grab them by the tail set them on a flat surface and grab them behind the head with two fingers. Pull in opposite directions qiuck and hard and you just severed their spinal cord. No mess, no fuss. It's an art form that may take a time or two to develop.

Also you can get a piece of floss and use it as a garotte (/humor off)

I like to verbaly abuse them to the point that they take care of it themselves.....................hehe.
