So I Flicked a Pinky Mouse On The Head....
Its head basically turned to mush, but the poor thing was still moving. I'm almost sure it wasn't alive anymore because its brains were turned to liquid in one hit. I don't think it was alive anymore.....
right?

Dumb question..and this is just me but..unless you are assist or force feeding why prekill a pinkie?
P.S. I've seen these little rats jump from 6 feet up in the air hit the cement floor twitch for a few second get up and shake it off so was it dead ... 50/50

Huh?
Why, in the name of all that is holy, did you do it at all?

I have no idea why you would pre-kill a pinky mouse of all things but I would imagine that if you destroyed it's head, it would be dead though you might get a little twitching in the limbs because of electric impulses.
On a side note, are you doing the "hit them in the head until they're stunned" method with all your feeders? I would highly recommened switching to CO2 euthenasia instead (I know it's almost impossible to kill pinks this way but there really is no reason to pre-kill pinks anyway). MUCH more humane.
This...kind of makes me sad to be quite honest... :/

There's some motor control lower down in the spinal cord. So they might do the chicken with its head cut off dance for a few minutes? Before the body realizes it's already brain dead and starts shutting down.
Um.... sorry to be gross.

It's fine. They twitch for a while and typically will pee themselves. But if you hit them and smashed their head, then they are dead and the twitching is just nerves and leftover energy.
Flicking is definitely the most humane way to kill pinkies, though it's a little brutal, so good for you for doing it, and don't feel bad.

Re: So I Flicked a Pinky Mouse On The Head....
There is a reason for killing pinks. Freezing to death is inhumane and if you are breeding pinks to produce large amounts of f/t pinks for future feedings then you need to kill them quick before you freeze them.

What if you plan to stock some in the freezer? A flick to the head is a humane way to kill them.

Oh my god, I flicked it on the head because people ON THIS WEBSITE said thats how to prekill a pinky! They said CO2 doesn't work on pinkies.
Whats with all the dang rage?! I just started breeding my own rodents, so I haven't had any bg mice/rats to euthnize. Of course I'm going to use CO2. Its called dry ice and a cooler.
