is Raising feeder mice for you?

[dekaybrown]

Woo Hoo!!! my rodent pro order came today.

My freezer smokes when you open it I put that dry ice in there, it will lower my energy bill for a couple days.

These mice are top shelf, and I am going in to the snake room right now and watch a bunch disappear

the pinks are tiny and the fuzzy hoppers perfect size....

Next time I order, anyone who lives close by me, I can forward mice with the existing dry ice for cheap shipping. (we split the order)

My silly 12 year old daughter picked up a brick of raw dry ice bare handed (he he) she won't do that again soon.

Wayne, I'm getting an order in next week;
should be interesting.
I'll be preserving the dry ice for use as my euthanatory (?) substance when I start my mouse "colony."
Coincidentally, for any one seeking dry ice, my chem teacher says Meijer's sells it at the front.

Votes are in, Everyone who was offered thawed mice ate them, Carmella I had to tug the mouse with the hemostats, if it did not offer a "fight" she spit it right out.

We played this little game, she ate 3 mice. The Corn snake, milks and Chomp all ate them up quick.

Chomper is a riot, he still beats the crap out of the dead mouse before he eats it!

To answer the preserving question Wayne, I'll be placing it in the freezer wrapped tightly in either butcher's paper or or paper bag; Just gotta keep it as a closed system. :P

[dekaybrown]

yep, if you leave it alone it should last a while.

Our ice cream is rock hard.

That doesn't sound very appetizing.
Although it would be alluring to try and touch your tongue to it. lol

Well... I am breeding rats now! My dumbo beige irish girl had a litter of 7!! Keeping all but 2 as pets/breeders. Finding a pet home for the 2 remaining females CUTE CUTE CUTE!! 3 Beige Capped Dumbos and 4 Beige Irish Dumbos. OMG! CUTENESS!! They are almost 4 weeks now. I'll post pics soon. And my Siamese had 5 babies yesterday. Waiting until I can JUST see the colors and will be keeping 1 or 2 out of that litter then feeding the rest.

But yeah.... Feeder breeding when the adults are your pets is gonna be HARD. *cries*

[dekaybrown]

Yep, I like these a lot better. Every one of the adult Garters took pinks today.

It's less work, costs less and has less problems attached.

All the pinky legs are broke off, so there is like a big pile of pinkie legs, I wonder if I chop up fish, and mix it with pinky legs, the babies would probably eat that

These are flash frozen to a temperature far colder than we could achieve at home, killing any and all bacteria. The ones that were left overnight for the milks to eat, did not even smell yet this morning. (The garters ate them!)

[GartersRock]

LOL!! I love feeding my baby garters all those rodentpro pink legs.

Omg... I just got on here, after talking on the phone to some lady who wants to dump her Siamese cat and litter of kittens on us, and I read this... lololol.... and my heart just dropped when I read you were gonna feed your Siamese kittens... LOL I get it now, they're rats, but my first impression was that you were talking about kittens.
