How to stun or kill mice?

[PSYCOSNAKEMOM]

I love this thread ~~~~~:~

I can't stop laughing and the new icons only increase my pleasure. I will buy the brown mice from the dealer because he cuts the price. He says that people have a "thing" about brown mice? I guess some of you know about that I love the idea of getting mice on ice at a sale price...but when I order from RodentPro, often I will have a mixed bag of white and dark "meat" lol .

Sorry so long in replying...

CO2 is very inexpensive. It is however a little bit of a hassle to get started with. If you get a big tank, like the size divers use for oxygen, the tank can be expensive, like $50-$75 unless you get it on eBay. But filling it is only like $25, and depending on how many mice you kill at the same time, you can use it for months! (A little goes a long way.)

You can also use the CO2 canisters for paintball guns. They have less CO2, and I'm not sure if you can refill them, but they are definately cheaper.

However, I would say it was an investment, especially if you have a fairly large breeding facility, and would pay for itself over time, even if only for less hassle when killing the mice.

As for safeness, the big mouse breeders use CO2, as it is quick, and harmless for snakes. The CO2 does not affect the snakes at all.

paintball tanks are typically 9,12,16, or 20oz. and can be refilled at certain sporting goods stores or your local paintball facility for a buck or two (regardless of size). while you're there, play a round or two - its a blast :fullauto: till you get hit close range :awcrap:
