As your pray gets bigger you can hold the tails of the prey items just above the ground. Let your BP come hunt for it and strike it in the air. With the mouse/rat dangling in one place, they 99% of time get a good head strike and the kill is quick and swift.

Right now my BPs are small so I use leather gloves and hold their adult mice by hand. I would suggest that tongs would be best.

It has worked well for me since balls are not as fast or as aggressive hunters as Rainbows and Redtails.

Good luck.
