Just as long as she doesn't see it. She does have this weird, distorted belief that mice grow into rats. lol

Re: is Raising feeder mice for you?
Oh boy.... I took the plunge today.
I kept seeing an ad for free rats near me. I finally called and went and got 5 one-month-olds. They were the last they had, as they are getting out of reptiles and rodents. So I got the last ones... Mostly because Fluffy (bp) now eats 4-5 full grown mice a week, and Squiggles eats 3-4 on average. So weanling rats are heavier and they could eat fewer... and I'm thinking that rat pups will work better for the Florida blues too. Not sure tho. This one might be waaaaaay too hard. They're very skittish, and were living in really, really crappy conditions (I think they all have urine scald on their feet, their little plastic tub was literally wet and omg, had soooooo much filth in it... I'm glad I got them no matter what!!!!!) but yet they approach my hand and take treats-- so unlike the mice, who run in panic all the time. We'll see where this goes I guess!!!!!!! |

Re: is Raising feeder mice for you?
I wanted to get pics, but now they've all burrowed straight down into the aspen and haven't come out!! I think they must just feel so good to have a clean, warm home... I'm going to let them settle for a bit. They are all white, so nothing exciting there.
OMG tho---- I had to run to the pet store earlier today and got to see hairless rats for the first time!!! I can't belive this but-- they were actually cute!!!!! |
