It is not recommended to carry out cervical dislocation on an animal as big as a rabbit due to the force required to carry it out, I guess if the breeder is well versed in this method and has no problems then there is no problem.Yep Co2 does the trick or as the breeder I get them off, he sorts out vertibral displasire as an instant dispatch.
Very little force required more of a technic..learnt in my ferret and netting days.. Needed decent supply of food for all my birds of prey.. Farmers appreciated it alsoIt is not recommended to carry out cervical dislocation on an animal as big as a rabbit due to the force required to carry it out, I guess if the breeder is well versed in this method and has no problems then there is no problem.
Well the breeder makes it look easy and it is instantanious. Just a flick of the wrist.
The only time that I have seen it done was on you tube and it was done on a rat and he did it by pushing the head away from the body and did not twist at all.A mate of mine does it, it's like when you get a heap of bubblewrap and rotate it out until it pops (that kind of action)... I'm sure that there's a certain technique, but that's what I got from looking at it.... Never tried it myself, it's not my thing....
that's why I need to buy ones that are already dead. I feel guilty/bad for just squashing a mozzie!Yeah not good , I know we are killing them for snake food but I felt really bad.
You probably want a line of rabbits with good mothering ability and large litter size since the offspring will more than likely reach the optimen size at or soon after weaning.We use New Zealand white Flemish giant cross but we selectively breed for desirable traits. The snakes you nominated are likely to want feed items of a kilo or less which for meat rabbits will be about 4-6 weeks old. Small rabbit breeds will obviously only achieve those weights at an alder age and so will require additional grow out cages.
