blame my partner its his fault, he made me heartless over the rodents!

Awwww I am trying to be heartless, but I just cant. And out of the babies I have, I have chosen a few more to keep. I have a ratty too, whom I took on as a rescue, as I keep fancy rats, and gambian pouchies too, but this rat gave birth to 12 babies.. little dumbos of beautiful colours, and I initially thought great, snake food.. but I cant do it!

Pre killed, frozen rodents, I dont have a problem with.. and the reason for my getting the multis was because I knew I would be giving them a pet home, and great food, and great life, and their off spring would be a healthy meal for some of my snakies... ahh I am too soft

When I finally do get round to doing it.. it will be with Carbon Dioxide. Though at the minute, I have only been using the poor pinkies that were suffocated under the pile of babies!!

[Dee_Williams]

so do you need to have a specialist license to buy it?
or just use dry ice type stuff?
sorry but i have never really thought about this and it intrigues me.

When I was at college and the mice had young, they simply took them away and popped them into the fridge.

The cold caused their heart rate to slow and they just went to sleep and never woke up.

I think this only works with tiny pinkies though

that's what someone i used to work with did. although he did it with a full nest of wild ones. they were fuzzy.

sorry for the utter rediculous question, but 'multi's are baby mice? or rats? or a strange mix of both... i'm confused. the terminology gets me lol x

[hippyhaplos]

Multi= multimammate. It's an African rodent which posseses a lot of nipples, hence the name. They don't smell and males can be kept together without war.
