    longest friggin five minutes of my life...

    this sucks. we are attempting to euthanize our rattie pups... as they are getting too big...

    this page gave us the info and we set up our vinegar and baking soda chamber... opened the cooler after another 5 mintues and they are all looking at us like... "got any food?"

    so... we do it again... we figure the tube was too thin the first time... so now... i'm waiting for five minutes to pass to see if i'm a failure at this.

    i wish we could just get dry ice, but that's a no go here... so... we wait. and hope.

    it feels yucky waiting for our critters to die.... esp at our own hand

    well... at this point it's a matter of IF rather than IF - if you get my drift

    Re: longest friggin five minutes of my life...

    Exactly the reason why when come the time of starting breeding my own rodents (very soon), I plan on using a CO2 chamber like this http://www.thereddragonsden.com/co2.htm

    A little investment to start with but not as messy and my best option since I can't seems to find any Dry Ice around.

    Yeah I know i could feed live to avoid the problem but I love the convinience of always have the proper size available and what matter the most it work for my BP too they are all F/T feeders.

    i use a co2 chamber like that. it is quick and easy--not fun at all, but at least this way is super fast.

    That's what I have set up, only with a larger CO2 tank. It works well, but you still have to keep an eye on the time. Young ones seem to take longer to die, and a couple of times I thought I had waited long enough only to discover that one was still alive when I grasped it with the hemostats. Not a fun experience.
