The only named rodent in recent history (my first breeder boy rat, Tom Cruise) became dinner this week for Lourdes (*CHOMP!*). I try to socialize with my breeders, hold them and talk to them so that it's easier to work with them during cleanings or moving them around...

Other than having to euth my favorite breeder boy mouse recently, which made me sad, I usually don't have a problem manually euthanizing feeders or breeders for the freezer or for dinner day.

Like Bruce said tho, bite me and you're going in the freezer right now, buddy.
