hahaha.. LOLS my gf will kill me if she found out that im feeding my snake guinea pigs and rabbits.. LOLS i dont think any of my pet can take on a goat..LOLS.. even if i wont feed them.. i cant stand to hear a goats cry

Goats would be babies and already frozen for you. You forgot pigs on your list also.

The secret is to get rid of the mice and get rats and asf.

You really can't rush the growth of a mouse without making it fat. And you don't want fat mice you want big mice. I had the same problem so I just increased the size of my collection and let them grow to full size so I always have large adults.

I feel your pain, mice grow too slow and rats grow too fast!

I knew there were some common feeders I was forgetting!

I gave up on my mouse coloney the took for ever to breed and smelled bad. my rats produce and my ASF coloney is starting( getting 6 more tomorrow though)

Best thing you can do...

Start with a healthy robust breeding stock from a proven line.

That simple. :)

I like to throw in a handful of sunflower seeds. Lots of protein and fat.

another question. do you give your snakes any vitamins? like 1/4 of a 500 mg multivitamins stuffed inside a frozen pinks stomach? thanks

no vits for snakes.

My best advice is Keep mice... I did mice...had GREAT production and size...went to rats... bad experiance...asfs...worse experiance out of them all....and now im back to mice and happy:)

Really, just leave them alone.

If you want huge mice, let them go. no joke...A HOPPER mouse not even weaned got out once when I dropped him cleaning and now hes freaken twice the size of his siblings somehow when I see him.

Agreed. Mice take alil more patience than rats but all in all no complaints with either of them.

No kidding :p I guess I should also give them cords to chew on... he is already the size of a subadult and hes not even near a month old.

thats my observation too but i think that giving them unhealthy fatty foods and will be eaten by my snake leo and birds isnt really nice. but ill try anyway since i love experimenting. ill try to feed my mice more cheese, bread, sardines, raw fish and see what happens. how about steroids? would you use one for your mouse?

I feed all my rodents Mzauri 9f. They grow 10 times faster and bigger litters than eating the garbage seed mix or store bought bags.

I just weaned a litter of mice at 3 week olds and they all topped the scale each at 20-25grams, FOR ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD.

my rats grow very fast. I cant wait for them to get to small rat size as by the 3rd or 4th week their already touching 60grams.
