new females

I was able to get some pics inbetween guard duty this weekend and put them in a folder on my webserver here at home. I had posted about looking for normal females for breeding in another topic...these are what I purchased. The breeder is out of North Dakota and was just awesome to work with. I ended up buying a yearling and hatchling from this year. The photos are labled accordingly, there are less pics of the yearling as she is still a bit aggressive and decided to start attacking me after the first couple shots despite the efforts to keep her calm and not move around her to quickly. Oh and tossed in a pic from one of my mouse tubs...matching pregnant mice about to explode any day now!

P.S. I only resized them down to 640pixels wide to give more of a visual effect of their size.[/url]

They're very nice looking...... and when you say guard duty, what do you mean?? Are you in the military?? Just curious. :)

Those are some fine lookin ladies you've got there :) Congrats on the new additions!

really nice, im shopping around for a female but havent found one that was reasonably priced and able to be shipped to canada. Congrats on the new additions

SemperFi, I'm in the Army National Guard...I could probably guess that you are a Marine :D


Thanks for the comments, I'm pretty happy with the way they look. And they were well fed which makes me happy. The 04 seems pretty cool headed and calms down after she realizes there is no danger when I take her out. The 03 will have to work on. I'm not going to handle them much untill probably next weekend or the week after untill I feel they are settled a bit more. Both are very active in their tubs which is good to see.


Oh and I checked in on the mice this morning and those two mice both poped last night....I don't even know how many babies their are yet...but its a big pile! :mrgreen: More food!

Congratulations on the new females!!!

There are lots of Canadian breeders that you could buy from. Hatchling females go for $125CDN and yearlings for $150CDN based on what I've seen. It's shipping via Air Canada heated cargo that will cost you an arm and a leg. Westjet is a bit cheaper, but I don't know if it's as reliable.

Looks like I'm not the only one with breeding ambitions!

nope, my boyfriend is... HAHAHA im only 17, and even if i was 18, im waaaaay too much of a chicken **** to join the Marines. any military branch in general... i'd get off the bus for boot camp and as SOON as the Drill Instructers started yellin, i would start ballin my eyes out and ask for my mom. hahahaha not really... but the point is i could never!!

Nice! I want a female het albino to breed to my male het but the female hets are very expensive :(

that's cool, i'm just starting out so normals are fine for me. Although I do tend to look for the ones that have brighter color and nice patterns.

Still debating on weather to sell the 04 female, I could just keep her and resell her when she's older when everyone is looking for adult females...but by then i would want to use her for that myself.
