I've never liked feeding frozen so I always do live. but occasionally, my girl will strike and the mouse and hit it in the wrong spot, and then it might be able to bite her. My worst fear is her getting bit in the eye. So this leads me to believe I should try pre-killed. I can't imagine ever being able to get cervical dislocation right, and I wouldn't want to learn through trial and error, and doing it incorrectly and causing pain for the rodent. So I got to thinking today...would an effective and humane method of pre-killing a mouse be...a mouse trap? I mean like doesn't it break their necks instantly? Or does it cause a slow and painful death? I would never try this without someones approval, what do you think?
P.S. I am aware I could gas them in a gas chamber, but I do not have access to dry ice, and I've always heard that using CO2 from a paintball gun isn't the greatest way of gassing a feeder.
