Actually, the bloody noses can happen for several reasons:

Bashing them (as you've said)
Overdose of CO2 while alive (you are NOT aiming for 100% concentration)
Freezing/Thawing damage to blood vessels in the nose can also cause bleeding from nose and mouth - no matter how the rodent was frozen. I would, in frozen rodents, assume this means the rodent's thawed out at least once and been refrozen.

After Buying all that and replacing the Co2 at 11 quid a time, its cheaper to buy frozen from a shop

i wouldn't be able to do it

This Would Make A Very Good Sticky, as this question comes up alll the time !

LMFAO that is a new one on me.

As ssthisto mentioned it is from the mouse and not artificially added.

Although my opinion and research makes me belive that the cause is the gas, since the eyes tend to bleed on re-frozen rodents.

Ask at the counter as our local Halfords keeps them in a fireproof store cupboard in the back. So they are not always on view. (because they would explode in a fire not because they are flammable!)

Guys one thing that I dont think has bean said is Do not do not breath this stuff in. As it can kill you just as easy as the food its made for.

This is a old design that works fast and dose the job

Don't stick your head into the CO2 container.

CO2 is heavier than air, so if you put it into a container with closed sides, it'll generally stay IN the container.
