    putting mice to sleep
    My new ball is used to taking live mice from the previous owner. I would like to switch to killed prey but I don't want to feed it frozen/thawed mice. Is there a humane way of putting mice to sleep? Thanks.

    Re: putting mice to sleep
    you can use CO2 or you can whack em against a wall.

    whats wrong with F/T? it gets rid of all the parasites. do you raise your own mice?

    good luck.

    A CO2 canister (filled) w/a short hose and on/off valve cost me $46 and I've done five litters of rat pups with it, and just now need to get it refilled.


    CO2 is MUCH more humane than whacking them against a wall! If I couldn't come up with any other way, I'd be sure to break their necks before I'd thump them against a wall. CO2 is much, much simpler and cleaner!

    Thanks to all that replied.

    Slithers, nothing wrong with frozen/thawed. Its just my personal preference to feed freshly killed mice. Thanks.

    RockSolid, thanks for the link.

    sweety314, guess I'll just have to find myself an air tight container. Thanks.

    I just used the freezer bags. :) Put the babies is, squeezed (most of) the air out, puffed up the freezer bag with the CO2, closed off the bag until they quit moving, waited about 2-3 min. Popped 'em into the freezer after pushing the CO2 out. All done.

    Not to start a debate but how is wacking them against the wall be less humane that CO2? When they're slammed against a wall, table etc. its instant death, unless you give a little girly swing (no offense). They're dead before they knew what hit them and it is much faster! CO2 on the other hand is something that doesn't kill them right away. It's "painless", but it does take some time! Ever have your breath cutoff by being choked out or the likes? I have when we were doing combatives in the army during training and it doesn't feel much good at all. I'd imagine this is what it feels like to be put down by CO2. You really do freak out alot, and then you start to "lose it" towards what you think, and your awareness. I do believe "wacking" the prey Item against a wall or something of the likes is as humane if not more so than CO2. Myself, I'd much rather go down instantly and pain free, than suffocating no matter how quick it is.

    CO2 narcosis is generally considered to be one of the best ways to go for people - you start to feel a little light headed, then sleepy then no more.

    OOOOOOodles and oodles of arguements about this. Many, many threads about this same thing. Also the live vs. PK/FT debate will rage on and on, and on, and on, ad nauseum as long as ppl keep herps in captivity.

    You wanna do a mouse by whacking it, go right ahead. I'm not going to stand looking over your shoulder. For me as an observer, it's easy to see someone missing, or putting the brains all over the sock, back, pillowcase or (fill in the blank). I use CO2 so they get sleepy and then nothing.

    He had asked for suggestions on putting mice to sleep, and I gave him the information for a smaller, (cheap) way to put together a CO2 system. The guys here who are doing rodents to sell, all use dry ice in a CO2 chamber. They're not whacking hundreds of mice.

    Each needs to make his/her own decision on how to do it.

    Do whatever you want. I'm not the euthenasia police.

    Disgusting..Freezing is a far worse death than being constricted by a snake. Have a little respect for the animals that keep your snakes healthy, growing and breeding for you. You deserve to be slammed..And then maybe frozen?

    I don't mean to be harsh or mean, but you have no clue what you are talking about.

    Studies have been done by actual scientists and the AVMA has certified CO2 euthanization as one of the most humane methods of euthanization, much moreso than blunt trauma. Blunt trauma is NOT humane by any stretch of the imagination, and the "time" element in which you are basing your arguement upon is irrelevent in determining what is and isn't humane. Sure, if you threw the rodent off the top floor of a high rise, death might be instant, but that doesn't make it humane.

I have done much looking into CO2 chambers. Just seems a little to much for a mouse bound for the freezer anyway. Using CO2 does not make the mouse any better for the snake, it adds no benefit to the food value. Now if you are breeding large scale, then yes a CO2 is the only way.........course you are killing 200 mice at a time then.........

    You have no clue.

    Let me expound on that. Where exactly do you get that freezing is just as humane as CO2? CO2 and Cervical Dislocation are the only 2 humane methods of euthanization that are recognized. Its obvious you couldn't care less about the prey item, so I doubt you'll be convinced by any FACTS.

    Re: putting mice to sleep
    I agree, being choked out is nothing like CO2 narcosis. High CO2/Low oxygen is something im somewhat experienced with because of my freediving training. As CO2 levels get high it is a very peaceful somewhat numbing feeling. I have done breath holds to very near the point of blacking out (bloood oxygen saturation in the low 40% range, i think black out normally happens at around 30ish, normal is 98-100) and the only discomfort was the fact that i wasnt physically breathing. As soon as i exhale the discomfort is gone and all that is left is the very calm relaxed somewhat medicated feeling. The key is not to raise the CO2 levels too quickly. If the levels are raised to quickly then it burns the lungs and does cause some discomfort, that is why it is raised to the levels needed to put them to sleep first, then increased to lethal levels. I have a formula somewhere of what the percentages are for each of those, and what volume of CO2 is formed by a certain mix of baking soda and vinegar. Later on today ill try to find those numbers, and post a picture of my gas chamber. I have tested it on mouse i bought just to make sure it was going to work properly. The mouse was rather active at first in the chamber. Once the gas started in it began to stagger as it was walking, then laid over. A few seconds later I mixed the second batch of gas, and in a min or two it simply quit breathing. It never squealed, or acted uncomfortable. The only thing i noticed was it staggering around. Next time i will put some bedding in the chamber and darken it so that the mouse would be more likely to be bedded down. If wanted i can video it next time i gas a mouse and post a link to photobucket.

    Richard, it's obvious you have your own belief system when it comes to the euthanization of prey creatures, however, please allow for other members to offer both their own experience and documented information on what is considered to be proper methods without basically laughing at them. A large part of the function of this forum is sharing information people can depend upon. Should they choose to use or disregard that is their choice of course, as it is yours.

    Im in class right now, but ill post a pic of mine soon as i get out. Give me about 30 mins or so. The only fault i have with it is a need a bigger cup because of the ammount of vinegar needed for the second dose, so i pull the plug on the first cup, after black out the second, once the second drains i pour some more into that cup so it drains into the system.

    Re: putting mice to sleep
    I wrote up a thread on the use of Dry Ice for CO2 euthanization. It's a lot more cost effective than using gas chambers with CO2 cartridges for one, and Dry Ice subliminated at a reasonalbly slow rate, so you reduce the chance that you increase the concentration of CO2 too quickly. You would need some kind of regulator on a CO2 cartridge to ensure the concentration does not increase too quickly. For a small operation, under 20-30 mice/rats, I think the dry ice method's simplicity is a major advantage.

    For CO2 containers i would go with large paintball tank, and the product they call a remote, which is a hose with a valve on it. I dont see a way to use the small 12 gram cartridges properly. If im not mistaken in the sticky topic in this forum about this very topic there are plans for a dry ice chamber, and as i said a few mins ago. My baking soda/vinegar chamber will be posted very soon. If anyone requests i can video the gassing process and post it on photobucket. I dont remember what it cost to make, but im pretty sure it was less that 20 bucks, i think more like 15. Also, not knocking your method, but look into cervical dislocation. Just as quick and doesnt require anything special to do it.

    You gave a response to the question asked that was simply wrong. I corrected you by stating facts and cited my source. Stating facts is not a debate, as you can not debate actual facts.

    It only becomes a debate when one side of the issue doesn't want to hear the facts or do any research on their own.

    I think what you saw at walmart was probably the larger disposable cartridges that are made to use on guns that use the regular tanks and the "valve" with them is just an adapter that screws into the guns threads and punctures the cartridge, but doesnt allow for any flow control I may be wrong though. Were the tanks you saw silver, or black?

    Re: putting mice to sleep
    Okay, well for CO2 I use to use a setup similar to the one at the bottom of this page:

    http://www.alysion.org/euthanasia/

    It uses vinegar and baking soda so it's very cheap, and you can adjust the size accordingly. Yeast, sugar and water also release CO2 (albeit, at a very minimal rate). There are several other options available online as well.

    As for throwing them in the freezer still alive: that qualifies as animal cruelty, which is a misdemeanor in most states, and further more, shows an utter lack of compassion for the animal. Personally, I would not purchase an animal from anyone knowing they chose an illegal and inhumane procedure to kill their prey items.

    There is no excuse for using inhumane methods for killing prey items. And using excuses like "Human food is prepared that way" or "Other people do it" is just a silly Red Herring.

    Re: putting mice to sleep
    My step father was talking to a friend. Apparently her daughter has snakes, and can't get any mice in her area, so she asked her mother to go pick some up, and place the cardboard box they came in, in the freezer overnight, so they would be dead.

    The next day she opened the fridge and the mice had chewed a hole in the box, and were eating the frozen buns in the freezer, most were huddled together, and none were dead.

    Definitely not the best approach :)

    I wasn't overly concerned with whether or not that particular individual "got it" or not....it was nice he conceded the point I was trying to make, but I was more concerned about someone logging on and looking to learn something, and its important to refute or reiterate certain points to get the message across to those users. I don't feel like anyone here has "beaten a dead horse" at all so far.

    Thats the site i got my info from. The main differance is i made it a self contained unit so no hoses stick out anywhere, and i need a larger dose of CO2 than the volume of my actual chamber calls for because of the way i made my reaction chamber.

    the bottom bowl is where the mice go. The top bowl has a divider in it that doesnt quite go all the way to the top. One side of the container needs to be quite abit bigger than the other. one side has a hose or pipe, whatever is easiest for you to get, sticking up nearly to the top of the bowl. The pipe goes through the bottom, and through the lid of the first bowl. In mine the pipe is glued in with gel superglue, but it may be better to use silicone for all the places that need attached. I didnt because I didnt feel like waiting on it to dry. Next one i make will use silicone. The top bowl can be attached to the lid of the bottom one if desired, but for me the pipe holds it well. Two cups are glued to the top of the lid of the second bowl, one above each side of the reaction chamber. A larger cup is needed above the larger section of the chamber, but again, since this was somewhat of a test run I just used what i had. A hole is drilled through the bottom of the cup and the lid and some type of stopper is put in the hole (i used some disposable pipettes, because thats what i had available at the time). A few small holes are placed in the sides of the bottom bowl near the top. Mice/rats are placed in bottom bowl, and the lid/second bowl is placed on top. baking soda is put into the two sides of the reaction chamber (use info from the link above and the volume of your system to determine how much). The lid is placed on that bowl and vinegar is placed in the cups. The cup with less vinegar is drained, after waiting the appropriate time (see link, i dont remember off the top of my head) the second cup is drained. Several mins later the mice are ready for the freezer or feeding. I kinda simplified the working process, but you can see that from the link to get all the numbers right.
