I love animals, all of them, more than a lot of humans I have encountered.

Mice will die, they will eat each other, kill babies, many will become "cute" and it will be harder for you to feed them to the snakes if you feel anything for them aside from respect for the food chain.

I only give names to the parent mice, no name is easier to feed than "Squeaky"

Don't handle them, keep your distance emotionally and otherwise, it will simplify things.

I have been raising mice for a while now, and just recently ordered mice from Rodent Pro, well I separated the mice and reduced the breeding... WHY?

ordering 400+ mice from rodent pro is cheaper, easier and they are already dead....

Still have 5 totes going, just a lot less reproducing.

You already showed us you have a heart by trying so hard to save little pinky.


oh yeah i have a heart, but when it comes to a snake eating you gotta do it or buy pre killed ones. the only reason i tried saving pinky is because i couldnt see killing a baby mouse if it wasnt going to be used. i am hoping i do not grow attatched and i think i wont but who knows. ill give it a try once ort twice and if i find myself growing attatched im going to have to stop breeding and just fork out the cash for mice.
