I was wondering what methods you all use for braining stuarts and rolands. Every time I've tried it it doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference. Just wondering if I'm doing it wrong or being too precise (dissecting rather than stoving its head in).

Those of you that know what I'm studying/researching will know that I'm not remotely squeamish in any way, shape or form so don't hold back

If you want pics I can oblige .

Just tried. No joy .

I won't use my dissecting kit next time. Could have quite happily taken that rat apart to see how it worked

Gonna have to go up the rep store tomorrow to get some extra large mice in. they both take those no problem.

No problem. Just trying to get Sherman, in particular, back on rats again. I'll give the rats a go again when the weather warms up a bit.

Cheers for the advice though .
