I just place the tongs over the back of the neck, pull the tail with a good yank and its over. It severs their spinal cord so they cant feel pain, and they die very quickly.

Any way you could post a video on how you do it? I'm more of a visual learning person and find I'm much more comfortable trying something if I can watch it being done first. I would like to give it a try at least once to see how it works (as I really dislike feeding live).
Also, what would the best way be to kill gerbils? I wouldn't think the method you use for mice/ rats would work for them as I've heard their tails are quite fragile and can slodge off.
