Killing Rabbits
What's the most humane way to kill rabbits? Is CO2 the best choice?

rabbit scream when you co2 them, very unsettling. Drowning I feel takes too long so you are left with few choices.

i always heard that breaking the neck was the easiest way.. If you know what you're doing that is.. Personally, i have no skill when it comes to doing it.. And i don;t think there's much you can do to have them NOT squeal..

If your unable to kill it first you have two choices:
1) Buy a frozen rabbit
or
2) Wack it and let the snake do the rest.

I put the rabbit in a garbage bag and bring it down on a chopping block. As for gas you have to release a small amount in the begining to put them to sleep then increas the gas. Too much gass too fast irratates the resperatory track.

Personally I break the necks, but unlike with rats and mice, it's nowhere near as "easy"
A quick twist with the head in one hand and the body in the other will sometimes do the trick, other times though the head will have to be turned greater than 360 degrees before the animal dies and there is a very audible cracking noise (that can be distinctly felt too, you're applying pressure, then suddenly there's no resistance) that I think would disturb some people. They also seem to be a bit more prone to nosebleeds than rats/mice and, having more blood, this can get a bit messy.
I agree with other posters... if you can't personally deal with this, just buy frozen rabbits.

You hold the rabbit by the ears while the rabbit is on the ground, then you take a club or small bat and hit it on the head right behind the ears.
Or put it in a strong bag and whack it hard against something solid.

I am sooo glad I don't keep snakes that require something as large as a rabbit.

Buy frozen, it's cheaper in the long run and not as messy. I just piced up 10 rabbits for 80 bucks at pcpc, great deal!

you shouldnt put them in a bag as you cant tell which part hits the ground first, blunt traumer is good as long as you hit it in the head
