Just asking a few questions as we want to breed some mice for food for the snakes but want to find the easiest way to cull that is also humane. We are just looking at doing this for our snakes and not to onsell or anything like that
Does anyone here drown the mice they breed?
Do you find this is the easiest way to cull and fairly humane way for the mice to die?
If you drown them do you dry the mice off before you freezer them?
Or do you gas them?

For pinkys I give them a firm solid flick on the head.
Drowning would be the worst possible method. |
