KITKAT, any problems with starting a Microtus colony then?


Well, except the fact that some local populations carry a hantavirus that causes nephropathia epidemica. And the fact that it would be illegal using wildcaught voles.

Depends on where you live, and what the wildlife folks have on the books. Here, it is legal to keep wc mice as far as I know, and our lab at OSU did have a microtus colony, although we never tried breeding them...
