thats like suffocating in a room without fresh air. its also half of the reason why drowning is so terrible. you do feel that the air is getting bad, unbreathable, you get terrified, and suffocate in agony. that is all the response to blood CO2 level increase. its sneaky and undetectible only when you have a drop in blood oxygen levels WITHOUT corresponding CO2 buildup, like when a pressurized cabin leaks or on mount everest.
with CO2, its not like getting drowsy at low pressure or high altitude. you can have that for your rhodents if you use a noble gas or nitrogen. you cannot have that when CO2 is used. if you want to grant mammals a peaceful death by an undetectible drop in oxygen so that they peaceful pass out, you can use basically anything other than CO2 to displace the oxygen. hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, argon, whatever.
just inhale some CO2 already and tell me it feels just like one of these military pressure drop experiments, i dare you. the fact is it doesnt. you get that light-headedness drowsyness without fear and panic if you overdo it with breathing helium for funny voices. CO2 is totally different and just dreadful.

When you are able to post scientific proof that counters my scientific proof, maybe I'll take your posts seriously. You keep saying use nitrogen or a noble gas over and over and over again like a broken record countless times for the past year. Well, I cited credible scientific sources that say Nitrogen and Argon are poor substitutes for Co2. In fact, it could be rather adverse to the animals.
