Aw bummer Wayne. He was one cool looking mouse.

I still have my oooollllldddd momma mouse with the tumor. It is getting huge, tho she still eats, runs in the wheel, and takes care of babies. But I know I need to euth her because the thing is growing so fast and I don't want her to suffer.

And I can't feed her to someone; it seems wrong to feed a tumor to a snake. Anyone have thoughts on that?? It just seems... gross. lol

[ssssnakeluvr]

the tumor would be digested just like the rest of the mouse....

[Hornets23]

It does SEEM a little gross.

[Lori P]

Yeah, but do I really want to feed the snakes a mass of abnormal cells?? That's the part that grosses me out. It seems like it would be feeding them something toxic, you know??

Tissue is tissue. The snakes don't care what shape it is.

[ssssnakeluvr]

even tho tumors kill living things...they are just as digestable as other tissues.....

Well Wayne, its nice you have a petstore that will buy from you. I thought I had sources for my rats- bred a ton of them, then found out no one needed any right now. I had one buddy buying them, but he didnt need nearly what I was producing.
Now I breed for myself, and every so often purge the freezer of old stuff by selling them cheap to buddies, or on craigslist- or doing a heavy snake feeding.
