    Medical question

    This is a question for those of you who pre-kill or stun your rodents. How do you do it?

    Croquet Mallet or Anvil Drop.

    j/k

    When I have to do it and there aren't too many of them i simply put them in a plastic shopping bag and give it a good solid thwack against a hard (brick) surface. You can't swing like you're going for a home run but you should avoid being prissy about it to avoid undue suffering. THis will pretty much universally break their neck at a minimum (assuming sufficient force).

    I put them in a Ziploc bag and smack them on the counter.

    But my prefered method is death my automobile i.e. running them over. LOL J/K

    I put them in one of those strong freezer bags and with a big swing smack them into the counter top. Then i throw away the bag.
    Thanks,

    Carvel's? LOL, Must be an east coast thing, never heard of it. None of that here. Baskin robbins, Coldstone, Leatherbys, Phipps, etc is what we have out here.

    Never had it or even heard of it. I'm sure we have stuff just like it here under different names.

    mmm .... Bruster's is *the* place for ice cream, but it's a local chain, so I'm sure y'all don't have it. Made fresh on premises every day, never yesterday's ice cream. I'll be happy to take whoever shows up for the Atlanta reptile expo. But for dry ice I'd just go to the grocery store.

    F/T all the way for me - not only is it cheaper, but safer, easier, more humane, less vet expense... man so many angles. I'm all about the F/T action!
