Pheobe my Eastern Garter

[BLUESIRTALIS]

You have to spend small fortune and buy hundreds. For example, $16 at mice direct for a bag of 100 mice sounds great and you save a few pennies per mouse when you order more. However, go to calculate shipping and that $16 bag of mice would cost me about $132 or $1.32 per mouse. Local mouse breeders here charge around $1 or little less for each pinky I'd have to order a heck of a lot of them online to close that price gap. It's pretty much the same story anywhere. Nobody is paying 12-16 cents per mouse that you see online. Unless you need about a thousand of them and can pay all that at once, forget about it.

They quoted me like $45.00 shipping and that was for 600 mice.

I am probably going to be either letting go of Pheobe because when I had found her she was mellow and gravid. I didnt know then that she was gravid. Well after she had her babies she became more high strung and very hyper. She needs more room and I cant get a bigger tank now. She also likes to climb and I dont have a tall tank so she cant do that either. I am still keeping some babies and so is my mother but we cant handle her right now . I think that this is the way she will continue to be hyper and high strung. I used to hold her a lot at the begining and throughout her pregnancy but cant do that now due to her wanting to jump out of hands or try to strike. I personally am not worried about getting bit. Its happened...lol. But I dont want the girls getting bit right now . I would like her to go to a good home but I dont have the money to ship or I dont know who to give her to. I asked Steve and he said she wold be welcomed to the ranch but he cannot right now because of the flooding situation and I totally understand. So if I am not able to find her a home then I will be letting her go. I just need to know what would be the latest I can let her go and her have enough time to find a spot . If I did let her go I would be releaseing her where I found her.

If it were me I wouldn't even look at the least amount of time.
She needs the most amount of time possible.
Just my thoughts.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Ok thank you for your thoughts. I do very much respect your thoughts and I thank you for commenting Steve. I wrote Shannon a message about maybe taking her. I dont know yet what her thoughts are, I just wrote her today. So if I waited till the end of next week is that still a good time you think or should I just wait til the end of this week and is hse cannot then I will let her go.

[guidofatherof5]

It truly becomes your call.
The more time she has the better her chances

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Ok thank you then I will wait till the end of this week and if Shannon does not want her I will let her go this weekend. I will be going to moms this weekend and I would like her to have the amount of time she needs. Thank you again Steve.
