Depends on how many you plan on eutanizing at once and/or their size. For a good size rat cervical dislocation is an option so long you are efficient at it. Other option CO2. I use CO2

Anything euthanized means it is a surplus that will be fed later on.

BP are fed live, colubrids are fed F/T, I keep a few female BP on F/T for the surplus or feed females that have laid eggs F/T if I have a surplus.
Are CO2 chambers hard to make? And do you ever have issues using your own f/t or maybe better results?

If you wanna step inside, pay admission at the door...
