when i kill my rats for freezing, i put them in a pillow case. tie a not at one end. swing it over head then down to hard surface. guaranteed dead, so if needed for a pre-killed but usually go into a zip lock bag, then the air gets suctioned out and then stored.

have one of those air remover things.

Well, have you tried a f/t yet?

the first step is admission wait thats AA wrong thread,

well first try a F/t see how that goes if it epic fails then move onto step to

try a smaller prekilled followed by a frozen if that fails

try a frozen dipped in chicken broth if that fails

get some bedding and poop from a live one rub the frozen one in that if that fails

get a live one put it in a box with holes put that in the cage then offer a frozen that should trigger a response.

if that fails grab some strong liquor take some shots wait a week and start over.
