Euthanizing rabbits

Anyone do their own rabbits? Is cervical dislocation or co2 a better method?

i would sedate them with nitrous oxide / laughing gas.

and then it really doesnt matter how you finish them, might be a load of CO2 or nitrogen or cervical dislocation or anything.

I use a co2 chamber. Light steady stream, then a short blast at the end. It's easier and more time efficient for me to do it this way with the amount I process.

Have to check into building a chamber, sounds like the easiest way to go about it. We have so many rabbits in the neighborhood, figure might as well take advantage of the free food nature provides.

wait, what, you want to hunt wild rabbits as food for your reptiles?

how would that work?

Cervical dislocation is super easy for rabbits.


Fast demonstration of CD at the beginning. But graphic warning for right after that because she starts butchering/skinning process immediately.

Not sure what you mean by " how would that work?". I can use live traps in my yard. I can also hunt them with my .22 rifle or bow. Was just wondering what was easiest to use for ones I catch in live traps. My burm that I have no has never eaten a purchased meal. My buddy, the previous owner has always fed him wild game. I have plenty of wild rabbits in my neighborhood, so I don't see any reason to start buying them at the moment. I have a vacuum sealer and giant freezer for storing food.
