The $50 pinkies

I could keep mice like that for about 4 months a year, but that would mean that I'd have to gas the adults every autumn.

why?

Because I have access to a shed that's warm enough during the summer months, but not during the winter and I can't keep them indoors, because of other people's allergies, the smell the mice produce and lack of space.

it gets damn cold here in winter ice and snow etc... we have insulated the shed and have a small greenhouse tube heater just to keep the chill off.
