Re: is Raising feeder mice for you?
Well we do spoil our little "Top Moms" they are pets, and yes I have a big guilt trip every time I feed the snakes one of those babies.
We had one little mom that would count the babies every time I reached in for anything. One day she was found dead in the tote, young and healthy, I think she had a broken heart from all her babies being taken away. Call it "humanizing" if you want, but she had this look on her face every time a pinky disappeared that tore right through me. She was given a proper burial...... That was the whole reason I started this thread in the first place, folks were talking about raising rodents, and I wanted everyone to know that if you have a heart (most of us do) and love animals (all of us do) breeding mice may not be something that would be as easy as you would like. Rodent pro sounds better and better all the time.........

'Rockster, I don't know... I KNOW I'd not NEVER be able to do it. Think long and hard. I don't see you as one that could. You're just too much of a moosh and lover.

Re: is Raising feeder mice for you?
'Rockster, regarding the fridge and human food: NO joking. I've more snake food in my fridge than I do food for me.

Re: is Raising feeder mice for you?
Wayne, that's a great pic!! It does amaze me how the mommas all combine their babies!!
I saw a first time momma give birth the other day... she had no idea what to do. She kept running away from the babies, and for a while I was thinking I'd have to try to give them to another mom.... but after a few hours she started going back, looking at them, lol, and then chasing off the other mice. And now she's doing fine. :-) Yeah, I could never feed off my mommas.... they work so hard for me!!! |
