Does anyone REALLY shoot their rodents? Or are the 4 votes for shooting just jokes?

I just slam them up against something real quick, but if i need a lot done i can get them CO2'ed pretty easily, but when it's just a little mouse hopper or small rat, a good smack does the trick.

I used to do cervical dislocation but it can be a little messy if you don't do it just right ( nose bleeds taring skin) when the amount and size of the prey increased I switched to a diy CO2 chamber. Which I find much better for both my sanity and for the mice and rats. I have a respect and appreciation for all animals. I enjoy keeping & breeding my own feeders (rats, mice, roaches) I used to keep rats as pets years ago before I kept reptiles, so killing each one individually by C.D. when you have 10-20 to do got a little mentally tough for me. when you do co2 properly they don't freak out and go to "sleep" relatively quickly.

For bulk deaths, I use the tried and true- CO2.
I go for the easier method though. Why spend all the money on all the hoses and crap?
I put them in a huge rubbermaid, fill a bowl 1/2 with water, drop in $0.25 worth of dry ice, 90 seconds later, it looks like Jim Jones visited.

I use a mains powered version of the RatZapper. The Rat/Mouse/ASF walks in to the box and zap ready to be eaten.
