Again, I'm still new at this, but i have a question...
When I worked in a pet shop (long long ago), we used to finger flick the mice in the head...We held them by the tail and just gave them a good pluck in the head...And there wasn't every a problem...the downside is, the mouse does regain conscience after 5 min if its not taken down by the snake. Would love to hear some feedback about this...
