So ugly it's cute
Since I have to breed my own feeders I might as well have fun with it
One of the babies from my first hairless mice litter.
The sire

The baby is cute, sire freaked me out a little. I'd like to breed my own mice/rats but I don't think I'd have the heart to handle them and then feed them off, which is a little hypocritical because I do hunt and raise some of my own food.

Takes getting used too for some people I am sure, I produce thousands each year, they get handled during cleaning (if you can call that handling, they go from dirty to clean tub), this is probably the most time I ever handled a rodent.
Rules are no handling, no petting, no naming, feed the "cutest" first, I see them as food which years back I was wondering if I ever could do that since as a kid I had mice, hamster and gerbils.

It's hard. Especially when you treat your breeders like pets. I never had any trouble feeding my snakes rodents someone else produced, but once I started breeding them it was hard to put them down. They're the babies of our beloved pets! And my kids and I have usually held and petted them a bit. They're too cute to resist.
I agree with Deborah about one thing though. We don't name any except the ones we're keeping. The holdbacks make it all worthwhile. I'm proud of the lines I've started and I'd like to start a rattery/mousery when I know more about their genetics.

You know, I usually don't care for hairless animals but I actually find these to be kind of cute. Not cute enough to stop me from feeding them off, but cute enough that I could keep one as a pet if I had to.
