whiz bang is banging the head down on a hard surface, its a quicker and safer way i think.

I think the wizz bang method is hitting them against something hard

To be honest the first time round feels like murder, Im still surprised I even managed it first time round considering the state I got into to even bring myself to kill the rat. It does get easier and just keep telling yourself that these are FAR healthier than the ones you'd get frozen from the petshop

Yeah id agree its not so bad with co2, when you dont actually deal the finishing blow it doesnt feel as bad. First one done anyway will only get easyer im sure. Much less mean on it you prekilled it anyway so you shouldnt feel bad.

Ive thought about breeding my own mice many times, but Ive come to the conclusion that Im too much of a wimp to kill them in any way. Even CO2ing them I would probably have a crisis of conscience halfway through and try and save them. Sigh. Spending a fortune on F/T, here I come.

Dont think id be able to do the whizz bang method, i must be soft

Another easy way to kill them without bashing them up is stick them in a demijohn and leave them over night, again they fall asleep when your not there so you dont feel so bad.
