what does the perfect feeder mouse look like?
long hair or short hair? long or short body? fat or skinny? black? brown? white? mix? tell me what u think and why. trying to figure out what the perfect feeder looks like... As a fun breeding experiment, i will try to make a colony of them!
i know this is mostly owners choice... strictly opinion... no right or wrong. just tell me what u think and why.

Re: what does the perfect feeder mouse look like?
I think it depends on the mouse.. both of my "breeder" mice are considered fancy. white with black markings, I dont think there is an ideal marking/body type i think its a mouse by mouse basis. trial and error. if your mouse gives you only 5 babies consecutivly then it isnt a *good* breeder mouse, does that make sense?
Re: what does the perfect feeder mouse look like?
Bright, alert eyes; clean nose and ears; clean, shiny fur; plump but not fat appearance. These are the key ingredients to a healthy, and therefore good, breeder/feeder mouse. As far as markings/colors, my two breeding trios are all 'fancy': black, black and white, two golden and two gold and white. Some people prefer using only white mice, but I wouldn't be able to give them their food related names then. :D

Definitely nothing like the one that's been in the tank in my basement for the last few weeks :)
Re: what does the perfect feeder mouse look like?
Two eyes, Two ears, a tail, four feet....my snakes would eat anything that resembles a mouse!

What does the perfect feeder mouse look like? Whatever healthy mouse my snake will eat...Cleo's (who seems to only like live mice) winter fast is coming at SUCH a wonderful time as my mouse colony is exploding. =P

well in my opinion.
a perfect breeder mouse should be of any color but the weight specifications are the most important:gj: if i were to breed the perfect mouse i would be long body, a little on the fat side but by no means obese. i would also try to breed for the most weight on a mouse but still the least size
:bow:

o yea and the litter size try to get it upwards maybe 8-12
