    I tried it and it worked great. good luck!
    That can be very dangerous... if the BP doesn't get the rodent fast enough and the rodent snaps out of it they can be extremely aggressive and ultimately be more dangerous than if you wouldn't have done that in the first place.

    Further it is unnecessary torment to the rodent. Either pre-kill them or feed live trying to daze them is not a good idea.
