p/k is prekill

f/t is frozen/thawed

cervical dislocation is when you, in short, break the mouses neck killing it instantly (it's instant if done right, botching the process can be traumitizing) I do this by placing a stick (usually my feeding tongs) behind the neck and pulling back on the tail, this disconects the spine from the skull.

So I p/k by cervical dislocation before feeding, if I freeze them first then thaw and feed they're f/t.

Any other Q's? It's okay to ask I was completely lost for a while when I started.
