CO2 is the best -- I even made a euthanising tank.

I was speaking to a guy at a Pet store last weekend and he recommended freezing the live mice as 'they just go to sleep'.

Yep, I gets all my good advices from Pet stores - they got lotsa animals so they must know!

actually two ways are the best/ most humane CO2 or cerviacle dislocation( smacking them on the head quickly or breaking their necks) pick one and give it a go

yeah just let them go down the barrel, it might kick a bit extra very humane you might have trouble finding any meat tho

If you only have a few grabem by the tail and whack their heads on a brick or something. If you have heaps its probably worth using co2

You can also break there neck by pushing in where their skull joins the spine with a pencil or thumb and pulling there tail, but this needs to be done right or it wont work, probably better off using the other methods.

Just dont freeze them.

Yeah cervical dislocation is the best. Grab a pen push firmly down on the mouses neck and either pull back on the tail whilst putting pressure down on the neck or grab the hind legs and pull.

Rats are harder to kill using the above method. Buy a glass tank and cut out a hole in one side. Connect the gas bottle to the tank. Put the rat in. Put the lid on the tank. Turn the gas on. The smaller the tank the quicker the rat will die. It is even quicker if you put multiple rats in. Take the lid off and stand back. Then freeze the rats.

Guinea pigs or rabbits,again a different method.

C02 is easy- make up a rig with an old soda stream. The alcojet bottles are C02, and are only $11 when swapped for empties.

Or contact your local fire station- or buy one of those little 'car' sized C02 bottles.
