How would I "euathnize a rat fuzzy/pup

[_Venom_]

I have a burmese who I fed a live fuzzy/pup rat. I want to see if it eats frozen so I can buy bulk. If I buy the bag and it does not then it would be a waste. So I want to buy a live one to freeze and feed it as a F/T to test him out.

It's only one. Would smacking it's head against a hard object do it?

By placing it in the freezer.

If it is 14 days old by using a CO2 chamber.

why cant you co2 a fuzzie until its 14 days old?

I would never just place a warm blodded animal in the freezer no matter how old they are.

Freezing is cruel, in my opinion. I use a baggie and canned air for the mice that I euthanize.

Co2ing will not effect a mouse or rat under 14 days, I believe it causes acid to form it their lungs? Freezing would be the best way to do it henceforth.

Please don't smack it! See if your local pet store or reptile store has some frozen. Even Petco sells frozen in small quantities.

I was suggesting smashing, not freezing.

I went to the petstores.
They don't sell anything smaller then a frozen small rat.
They think any snake will eat a mouse so they have adult mice in place of rat fuzzies.

And like I said, if I buy bulk and the snake does not accept f/t then I will have 25 or so rats wasted of their lives.

I don't want a CO2 chamber for a one time use.

Pinkies and fuzzies don't die with CO2. You have to freez them.

How do you think they pack the frozen pinkies and fuzzies that you buy at any store?
