Anything that doesn't have a thick coat and doesn't have it's eyes open yet gets put in the freezer.
Anything after the eyes opening gets it's neck snapped, or if it's at that weird size where my hands can't quite snap the neck, I take some plier and crush the neck. Either one works.
With spazzy large rats, I either hit it on the head with something heavy (a hammer would work for really big adults) or put them in a pillow case and throw them against the garage floor as hard as I can (don't normally as I tend to eff my shoulder up).
Or you can even take an ice chest, put the rat/s in it, and put the lid on it. Come back in 20 minutes and they should be dead from using all the oxygen in there.
EDIT: imo you have no real reason to feed live to a corn. I can't name a single person with a corn that refuses to eat nothing but live. The only time I feed live is when I'm culling pups on the same day I'm feeding my corns.

Re: How to euthinize a feeder rat without Co2?
How the heck do you get both Taser barbs into a target the size of a rat?

Check out my link below...Its a feeding vid and also shows my DIY CO2 chamber which was VERY cheap and utilizes dry ice..which is about a dollar a pound.
