I wonder what the AVMA says about this one:

Small Animal Guillotine

Kent Scientific’s Small Animal Guillotine is ideal for dispensing of both rat and mouse subjects. It has hardened and ground surgical stainless steel blades, aluminum base and stainless steel hardware. With its 1½ in. square maximum blade opening, it is suitable for decapitating rats, mice and other small animals. The decapitator cuts cleanly and quickly through bone and tissue. The base has four holes for bench mounting.

The guillotine is considered one of the most humane methods to dispense with a subject.

How much dry ice would I need for a 4lb rabbit?
And how long should I leave it in there.

Also what about newborn rabbit kits?

That is a very common method of dispatching lab rats, many universities use guillotines.

wow... i dont think i could handle that...

This is absolutely FANTASTIC! I have my rat/mice colonies that I am working on starting, and was trying to come up with a good, humane way to euthanize them when the time came. Try as I might, I could not come up with anything good. So when I stumbled across this, you can just imagine how totally happy I was. :D Thank you SO much, Elevatethis. It helps to take a huge weight off my mind.

Can anyone tell me if the mice/rats lose their body temperature after this is done...because I wanna feed 'em as soon as the process is over...

can you keep dry ice in a regular freezer?
