There is no real way to guarantee the rat wont bleed as you are rupturing blood vessels unless you gas it. What I do is (and be careful they pack a mean bite) I have a smooth wooden stick the handle of a wooden kitchen stirring spoon or something like that works to and you can get one cheap. Just push down on the rats neck with the stick and hold the rat down with the stick at the nape of its neck then with other hand pull the tail. If done right the rat passes quite quickly. Be careful to not pull to hard on tail as it is somewhat fragile.
