can someone show me a pic of a rat gettin cervical dislocation?
I am afraid that I will mess it up on the first try and totally do the oposite of what I WANTED...
The thing that I dont understand is where on its head do you put the pencile?
????????I maybe just slow.....
That whole whack a rat method sounds too messy and the co2 thing sounds cool but expencive and it would make me feel like a tourture administrator artist freak guy...havin a death machine just layin arround the house....
my girl comes over.......(Hey Barrin what is that over there?)
me.....(oh thats my turbo rat deoxifier tourture device!! He he he...)
ya hear what Im screemin?
that sucks about the whole freez a rat method...It sounded easy and stuff.
hear ya go......
what does the reagular snake owner do? the most common. how do ya do it and what do you do with the mess or the tools afterward?(ie... clean up or storrage.)
peace.
this is like the only site that I go to on the internet any more...
it is just that addicting. look at me exited to learn... whatever...
like I said before:
Peace!

I actually put my rats in a plastic bag from wal mart or something (to catch the blood) and hit them against the dumbell. The thing about cervical dislocation for rats is that there tails have been known to pop off and then you have a #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^& off tailess rat.

Wak-a-Rat really isn't that messy actually. I hardle even get bleeders when doing it now. I just use pillow cases that are for such here only and then just wash em when done is all.

I prefer the &quot;Order them online pre-frozen&quot; method. That way I don't have to do any of the actual killing. But back when I did, I used a pillowcase.

Barrin, the dislocation technique isn't hard. Grab the rat by the tail, use a ruler or something similar and hold it's head down on a flat surface and pull the tail up hard. If enough force is applied, it will dislocate the rat's cervical and kill it instantly. Perhaps the pillowcase and whack technique is better as long as you don't act like your beating some crook up.

I have been breedin my own rats lately.
In fact I had one of my mammas give birth to seven 4 weeks ago.
I think that they will be reddy for my jcp in a couple of weeks if not sooner...
Ive been feedin them High proteine dog food...
I herd that the reason for them eatin their yung was because of lack of Protein so I got High protein dogy food for them and plain penuts too. I use pest strips to keep the bugs and stuff out and try to keep their cage as cleen as posible...
I used the wood from my old kitchen table and made their cage. I got callases all over my hands on that one because the wood was so strong and my hand saw was soo dull...
oh well their new home looks good I sanded it all down and drilled air holes in the top for them and one in the side for the water thing.
~~~~any ways~~~
Peace!
yeah captain I know of a couple that are sellin and buyin and talkin and catchin and what ever
peace...
