thanks. haven't tried frozen though i don't know if i will yet besides.

Frozen is the way to go. I can have a supply of maybe 20 or so of one size. After that my ball is ready to move up to the next size. Works out really good. I guess it is more expensive, but if you have been breeding successfully for a year. You might make money from breeding. I think you loose money the first year breeding mice.

true but right now i just dont want to go through the whole switching over to f/t. and as for breeding im already on my second litter going on the 3rd anyday now, so far it's going good with the feeders i give my females a month brake after they give birth so i don't over breed.

I am sure giving f/t might be worth a try. Defiantly less work, well for me. How many snakes do you have in your collection? Sometimes that matters to. If you have 50+, obviously throwing a mouse in the tub, versus thawing out 50 mice. It's all about the reptile owner. Glad your mice are doing well. I'm sure that some breeders do not give a break to their females.
