    Ok. I will try to find out how to do that efficiently. For the record I did try to look up how to do it but all I kept coming up with were how to rid a house of rodents using rat traps and poison. Again, I guess I was not searching correctly (obviously) if this information is out there and I just didn't find it. The reason it didn't die in the bag is because I left too much air in there, so aside from it trying to get out, I wouldn't say that it was suffering much. I only waited about 2 minutes. And I couldn't believe how fast it died with I pressed down on it. I didn't press hard enough to crack bones or rupture organs. Only hard enough so that it could not breath. I have to admit that my heart skipped a beat while doing this. I've never intentionally killed an animal in my life, but I tried to think of it as food and went on with it.

    Anyways, sorry if I disturbed anyone with my methods...

    Re: Switching from live to frozen/thawed. How?

    Instructions

    1. Grasp the mouse firmly by the tail with one hand. You should only do this with mice that are more than three or four weeks of age: If they're any younger, you might pull the tail off.
    2. Pinch the base of the mouse's head between the thumb and forefinger of your other hand.
    3. Pull each end of the mouse in opposite directions.
    4. Listen for the crack and snap that indicates the mouse's neck has been broken. The mouse will probably go very still. Its legs may twitch reflexively, but this is just a nerve reflex. The mouse is already dead.

    Ugh... Honestly, I don't know if I can do this.... I think I will just buy frozen and hope for the best.
