Okay, i only feed FT or just killed but I'm wonder what ways others kill their mice and rats. for our hatchling spotted, we'd feed pinkie mice alive - fun if you are having a bad day...

but with regards to rats i was using co2. just enough to put them to sleep
then open the valve the whole way, killing them peacefully. I do this as i've read that there is a cortisol hormone release during stress that can harm the fed animals over time.

I'm wondering what anyone else does as i don't want to have another co2
tank in the house, and thumping them with my finger just sounds bad.

what would anyone do that wants to feed just killed, but not play silver hammer?

thnx
