Is there some sort of "spring loaded concussion" device?

It eats me up every time I have to "whack" a mouse several times to knock it out. this little white guy today withstood some horrific attempts to knock him out, it still is bothering me.

We spoil our feeder mice rotten right up to the last moment, and we have too many snakes to keep buying frozens....

Live feeding is interesting to watch, but it hurts me more to see a mouse bite one of my snakes.

If you ever have live prey hurt a snake, be sure to put some antibiotic on the wound, or it may become infected.

Thanks for ANY advice.
