I'm not sure if I could throw a mouse against a wall, so I'm trying to devise
other more "passive" ways of killing one. I like the nitrogen idea... does
anyone know how much nitrogen costs? I was also wondering if a small
low-voltage stun gun might do the trick easily...?

A high-voltage one didn't work well for me. I gave up on it.

Get a big glass container, put the mice in, seal it, and freeze it.

I also use this method with mice and pinkies. I still, um, 'whap' rats
on the cement wall out back. *sigh* I freeze rat pinkies though. This
is the one part (besides cleaning cages) that I don't really enjoy about
my carnivorous herps. -Please, no flames; I know it's 'necessary!-

In article <2jvgp6$c...@nntp2.Stanford.EDU>You can buy mice frozen from many suppliers via mail-order. Virtually all
popular captives will take rewarmed mice.
Nitrogen is cheap (as far as compressed gas goes) but the tank and service
can still be $40-60 for an "E" or "D" tank. Fittings and valves are additional
and can add up. Sometimes you can get small tanks of Nitrous Oxide at auto or
speed shops, as it is used in modified car engines. This compound when
delivered as 100% concentration is incompatible with life.
Stun-guns are ineffective at killing rodents (or people) dispite the high
voltage (40,000 to 250,000) because the current is very low.
They are useful for getting large boids uncoiled from their keepers during
feeding accidents, though.
