From the rodent farm in the garage, I load a bunch of feeders into one of those plastic Kritter Keepers for transport to the snake room. I feed a group of same size snakes at the same time. hatchlings on Sunday, Subadults on Monday and all others on Tuesday. Not all fed weekly, just that's the day of the week they'd get fed if getting fed that week.





To feed, I select feeder (whichever one I grab tail of first)

swing it by the handle (AKA tail) such that the back of the neck hits really hard against the right angle edge of my work bench. Like you, if done right little to no bleeding. I then toss it into the appropriate cage still kicking. Yes I have switched over to feeding in cages, I have toooooooo many to feed in other tubs!!



Oh yeah, the larger the rat, the harder you have to hit it!!
