OH no!! I have mice!!!
here is a pic of the rack we breed mice in. At last count we had a little over 400 mice of various ages

I'm assuming you sell these to pet stores for snake food.....if that is the case then is there good money involved in that?
If its not the case...then....I dunno what to say now. |
We breed them to feed our own snakes
|
do you seriously need over 400 mice to feed your snakes...how many snakes do you have?!?!
|
we dont need near that many.. started out last year with about 40 mice... and grew from there
We sold off most the snakes, so we are down to about 15 or so |
damn.. now instead of snakes you have mice :)
|
(shudder) remind me never to visit Lubbock. I hate mice. :eek:
|
Not much of a life for the mice though. Couldn't you put them in some habittrail thingies? ;)
BTW, I think they're cute. |
I'm with BentNotTwisted. They're cute little buggers. Not that I need you to ship me one or anything. My cats'd take care of it in no time.
Are you ever afraid of a "Rats of NIMH" style escape plot breaking out? |
we have had a few escapees, but so far it hasent been a problem
|
Damn, 15 snakes is too much, even one is too much for me. I can feel them slittering all over my body...
Mouse, I can handle...but snakes...*shudders* |
How much does it take to feed that many mice? Multiply what anything eats by 400 and it ends up being a fair amount. Are you planning on having this many mice? Or or you planning a little "population control"?
|
I used to have a friend who had mice. They practiced some self population control after they became too numerous, i.e. began to eat eaah other. I still shudder at that memory.
|
when we start to get too many we will start euthenising(sp) and freezing males.
|
Try selling them to local pet stores? Or shoot them, but thats just me being, well, me.
|
Local Pet store already has a strady supplier, a friend of mine actually ( I used to work at local pet store). We feeeze them and save them for later
|
wow thats a lot of mice.
maybe you could start to market frozen mice for snake owners who donīt breed their own mice... like you could freeze-dry them and then package them and sell them online or something... or would that be a nightmare? come to think about it, scrap that idea, snakes prob wouldnīt enjoy re-heated/re-hydrated freeze-dry mice... |
Rats of NIMH...
That brings back memorys. |
