is Raising feeder mice for you?

[crzy_kevo]

actuually thinking about it remember my temporart snake enclosure made out of a couple of buckets well we go through a few of those buckets every week at work do you think it would be a suitable home for the mice? and if so what can i do for ventilation would a couple of inch wide slits near the top work well covered with screen?

Not a lot of room to move around in a bucket, and any attempt at cutting and fusing two together will give the mice a nice easy point to start chewing...

I'll go take a picture, I used clear so I can see what is going on.

They are all under $10 to buy, Surely cannot be much more in the great white north.

well i was no planning on putting two together this time but i agree a 5 gallon bucket isn't that big and they wouldnt have much room to move around

Here is a few of my setups. Drill the vents close to the top, any holes drilled down low will give the mice a starting point to chew out from.



The second photo is for you to think over, can you kill these and be OK with it?

thank you for the view of the set up wayne and i dont mean to sound heartless but i have the ability to turn off my emotions when it comes to things like this even though i love all animals yes i would be able to kill them and be ok with it knowing that they are going to a good cause of feeding my precious snakes

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW They are SOOO CUTE!!!!!!

NOPE NOPE NOPE I couldnt kill them at all. I have a BIG heart and I would cry if I did. Heck even the pre killed I feel so bad but that is alot better then feeding them LIVE or me killing them

Saved big money today...

I was out and about, passed a feed store, thought what the heck, so I go in and ask for "mouse food"

Lady comes out with a big burlap sack like horse feed comes in, and says that will be $12

Thats the same price as 3 small bags at a department store, and a LOT more feed.

Got it home, open it up, yep Sunflower seeds, corn, pellets, all the good stuff mice love. Label reads "premium hamster mix" good stuff!

Cut my mice costs in half

I think the "turning off emotions" is a really good way to put it...

you cannot even imagine how envious I am about you having access to a feed store
whenever I ask around whether anyone knows about a feed store in Brooklyn, I get blank looks
if I could just get a bag of chicken mash . . .

If you are going to make it out in July, I can have all the chicken mash you want, waiting for you.

This is ruralville farmin' country.

I envy your access to all those shops and stores, tasty ethnic goodies like guarana, Latin, Greek and other foods that my clampett neighbors have never tried...
