Just received my 300 pinkies(200XS and 100Fuzzies) . I've never fed my Radixs these. I cut-up a few and mixed in a few worms. Gone in the blink of and eye. I then took one thawed XS and offered to one of my 6 month olds. He grabbed it and a few moments later it was gone. I haven't had to feed mice since my Bull snake became an educational snake for a local DNR(Dept. of Natural Resources) Now, it looks like I'll have a house full mousers. They really love them.

Our girl Lucky who just had babies 1 week ago had 8 XS pinkies. She's always been a great eater, but 8. I'm so proud of her.

I'm amazed! I cut up a couple of XS pinkies for my TLC snakes. I didn't expect much activity since these are my difficult earters and smallest babies. I didn't scent them because I was being lazy. They went through the first dish like a "hot knife cutting butter" WOW.. With 97 babies and 28 Juv. adults I'm thinking 300 pinkies was a short order. I know what they'll be getting for Christmas.

Yeah Steph, This stinking memory curse of mine....:(
Lets see, I agreed with Stefan, James chimed in about his Radix, I commented again, as did you.
It's like a half a page of posts just fell off the board.

What? What'd I miss? :(
Good job getting the little scrubs on mice :) Mixing them with worms and fish will cut the cost a little... wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to use fish again, tho!!!
My mice on ice should be here tomorrow :D

Some sort of a mass purge or whatever. Has to be a glitch somewhere.
An entire thread has also vanished from the site suggestions.
I guess I'll just re-type it and start saving screen shots to help figure this out.

Since I was on a roll I decided to give everyone a taste. I meant the snakes not my kids. I do think if I dipped them in ranch sauce I could get it by them. With my kids anything with ranch and it's gone.
Here's a shot of a hungry little one. This is one that was sick from the fish over the weekend.

Some of my kids had a problem with the food preparation. But they were the first to yell and encourage the little scrubs to eat and were just as excited when they did.
