They really do...all of the sudden some have color. Then *bam* fur. :P That's really neat!
Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
Glad you guys think it's neat.
I check on them everyday and take multiple pics so when I got it all uploaded and selected just one from each day I was like "man!... it's only been seven days, wow"
It's startling cause it felt like longer. It's been a very busy week. :D
This is also a very healthy litter so they're doing very well, some of my first time mothers have litters that take longer to reach this size and what seems like forever to reach adult size.

Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
thats cool i never thought of doing that.
Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
More pictures!
Not much changed this week size or fur wize but on day 11 I had one with open eyes. Today they've all got their eyes open and are following their mothers around 'mugging milk' lol. :P Poor mommies can't get a break.

Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
Great work, I will do this on my next rat batch and maybe the ASF also!

Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
That is an AMAZING shrinking quarter you got there!! :P (I think it must have come out of my piggy bank...everything in there is shrinking, too! :rolleyes: )
Seriously though....very neat series of pictures! Great looking mice! Those black ones are gorgeous! :D

ASF's totally! I'm interested to see how they grow. It's kinda a pain in the ass to do though. I actually think I missed a day somewhere cause my records show they're 14days old in that day13pic.. oh well.
I plan on doing it with my rats when I start breeding them and am planning on doing one to one photos of a baby in my next mouse litter.

Yep, I have the shrinking money disorder. I think it's a symptom of snake addiction.
The black ones are my faves too. They've got these great silvered stomachs that makes them unique, I just don't know what to call it.
Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
Last installment of pics. I'd post more but they're all sold, fed off, or residing in my freezer now. :P Oh well, nothing exciting happens growth wise from here anyway.

Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
Totally cute. I'd have my own colony but, if I raise em myself I'll fall in love and not be able to feed em off lol.

It's tough but it's what they're here for. I know I can't keep them all so I don't try.
It's gonna get harder though. I just received 4 new 'fancy' girls to add to my breeder colony. They're uber cute... some have long hair and they have great markings, one even looks like a dalmation... :oops: I think I'm in trouble.

I've got that "problem" too. I've already got a favorite male. ugh. :rolleyes:
He's got great color. I'm saying i'm keeping him for an extra gene pool. ;)
Re: Mouse Picture Calendar
I couldn't do what you do and I give you mad props for keeping yourself together. It's hard enough feeding the snakes live; to feed them live animals you've raised? Ouch.
Pretty Mommy, though.
