me too!

I'll be changing over the tanks to tubs soon. I just have to convince my hubby that that's a good idea. Right now he's saying "those mice are costing us a lot of money" He means well. It's just that the frozen don't smell up a room. :rolleyes:

Tubs are cheap! It's not like you're asking him for more mouse tanks, you're just switching them over. Plus tubs are easier to clean ergo less time on mice more time for him. :P Tell him that. lol.
