Long story short; mice are again in my house. :/ I am using them to get my hatchling BPs feeding. My rats just are not breeding fast enough for me to have a steady supply of rat babies; while one of my local stores always has mouse moms in with hopper sized babies. I just buy the mom with babies, feed them off, and I plan on feeding the moms off too because I don't want to breed them myself if I don't have to. I much prefer the low odor-ness of rats, hehe.
