Mouse talk.

Does anyone here have the african soft furred rats?? I know they are predominantly fed to balls, but does anyone feed the pinkies from them to their garters or other snakes? Someone near me offered me a male and two females... but not sure that I need them if the kingsnake and garters should not eat them...

They're quickly becoming more popular over here as food for every kind of snake, predominantly corns. I suspect some of the bigger pinkies I've bought have been natal rat (soft furred rat) pinkies.

Oh cool, thanks Stefan. I'm going to go threaten my mice with replacement now if they don't make babies soon... lol.

[Stefan-A]

You do that. I'll just be sitting here thinking about what to do if my mice keel over.

get more and try it again, or did you mean how to eat them..........

I'd prepare them baked in clay - like hedgehog gypsy style

Well, call me insane, but I decided to try it one more time. :-) This time I bought three females and a male, and we'll give it another go. So cross your fingers and toes that these four know how to go about their business!!!

i think the soft furred rats are illegal in cali, and the pinkies have fur when they are born

I'd cross my fingers if I thought it would help. How's that? Not that you need it, I'm sure they'll do fine.

How old are these new ones?


Reed,
Oh, they have fur? I guess these really were normal mice pinkies, these bigger ones. Just older.
