Mice...

[Amy1217]

okay, so i was considering starting to breed. I just wanted some input on it. I have no idea how to breed mice, or how to take care of them. I only have 2 snakes, and food is really cheap, i wanted to know if it was even worth breeding. I have a BP on Hoppers (the size above fuzzies...everybody has a different name for them. lol), and i have a baby RTB on pinkeys, but that will change quite soon, i've heard that RTBs grow rapidly.
Food here is really cheap. For pinkeys, i get 6 for 6$, for hoppers it is about 6 for 8$ (or somewhere around there). Even when my RTB gets to an adult...jumbo rats are 3.26 (or 2.26....i dont remember).
I am not planning on getting another snake any time soon, and wanted to know if i should breed, or keep buying the food (we have a herpish store near us, so i dont have to go far to get food, or order them off line).
Thanks for your input!

if you go down a few rows in the list of forums theres a feeder forum. This will probably be moved there, and you should also be able to find some good info in there.

I wouldn't get into breeding rodents for just a couple snakes. The cost and time will far outweigh the benefit. Keep buying them until the addiction takes over your life. Once you hit 10 snakes, start up the breeding

haha. my bf limited me at 2...we are not living together yet, but i dont want to have to sell any when we do...butttt....eventually i will have a horse barn, and i can keep them there, so, maybe ill get more. it is an addiction though. i already want another, and i just got my second on sunday! haha. I would say they are like potatoe chips, you can't just have one...but i dont like potatoe chips.

oh, and thanks for telling me about the feeder section. I was at school when i initially posted this, and really didnt have time to look to find it. lol.


thanks guys!
