Re: A thread to just drop into with some news or photos or whatever !!
Sorry its been a bit since the last message! I have only started breeding mice in 2024 so I don't think we have spoken because I never have offered to sell until these past few months. It took me forever to get the mice to consistently breed, figure out any illnesses (mites), and ensure they have a low mortality rate from birth (cannibalism + terrible mothers that needed to be culled & specific food). I'm sorry you had a bad experience with terrible pricing from someone else. I am super flexible about it but like to recoup costs where I can because the food to keep everything smooth is around 50$ per bag + our ventilated setup with our land lord was a must. I have a ventilated setup for the mice home made, vet care, etc. Since you breed then I'm sure you know about the associated costs to do it right and ethically. Setup for 12 females to breed all on a metal rack in an attic with great results. No matter what I do; this setup is a loss of money! I would prefer to sell and recoup but pricing is not really a concern where there are too many mice.
Originally, my goal was to charge close to a store and undercut Jabberwock reptiles because they are somewhat inconvenient to get to in the area due to their store times. Often during the summer they run out of pinkies. Undercutting them didn't go very well when we went to Facebook because people wanted adult mice and we needed pinkies for our baby Kenyan sand boas! So I started selling around less than 3$ for live adult mice. Even Facebook was difficult to find an audience too. I would rather find a group of friends to help with the overpopulation and recoup costs. Facebook is still too shaky to sell on b/c there are no consistent buyers from the area. They are coming in from Springfield Mass which is way t0o far when posts clearly stated around Peabody, Middleton, Danvers, Salem only. It was nice to get feedback though!!! I almost wanted to Uber them. I usually tell folks if they want frozen to buy a pack online because its cheaper than any live mouse they will ever get and I wont deprive picky snakes from local live food IMO. (Also its like a deliver locally service I guess so I don't want to go far.)
As for images!
I mostly have white mice, grey mice, and white mice with a dusty gray nose/tipped ears. Posted is the mother to all the variants. She is our only brown white bellied mouse. And then two of her daughters. The rest are lab mice white. Kind of boring I know compared. I host a website to sell as well (obv I won't post here and it needs adjustments anyways on costing after feedback).
  
Nice to talk to a fellow feed breeder! Also LOL on that article!!!!

Cool! The last guy I spoke with in our area had sent me pics of four full freezers of dead animals. I say animals because only ~75% of them were rodents. He wanted $5/frozen mouse, and a bag of 50 for $200 (cha-ching!).
$50/50lb. bag of rodent food is what I would expect to pay in our area. I use Choice Chops chicken dog food at Tractor Supply ~$30/50lbs. The Choice Chops dog food does not have the dried yucca in it (like Mazuri)-so the ammonia levels are noticeably worse than they would be otherwise. I have an extensive custom ventilation system in my house as well...gotta do it-if you don't like breathing ammonia...currently at ~60 breeding trios of mice here.
Those are indeed nice looking mice you have, but, yeah, I was looking for something a bit 'fancier'. I had an opportunity at one point to buy some really neat color variations from a small pet store in Fitchburg MA, but, I could tell by the shape of their abdomens that they were all terribly sick. I have not added any new mice to my breeding population in over 10 years.
As for Jabberwock reptiles: I have not visited them in many years. I was a regular customer when they were located in Woburn, but, when they moved to Stoneham I had several negative experiences with buying brand new UV bulbs only to get them home and find out that they had been clearly used and repackaged. I tested these bulbs with my UV Meter to confirm-and found they were only emitting 10-20% of the specified UV output. At the time: they would not accept returns on bulbs-yeah, I bet...
And not sure if you have reptiles, but, if you want some/more: Don't forget there is the New England Reptile Expo in Manchester NH this Sunday 02FEB2025.

Well this is pretty wild and honestly I have not run across this issue before. It must be something going wrong with Tapatalk, because there is no way that you could be logged in as a different user while using your own credentials directly through this site. Tapatalk has some weird issues from time to time.
According to your profile Zincubus, you last logged into BP.Net on January 31.
Could you look through the posts made by MitchPlat and tell me which ones were actually you (Zincubus)? Here is a link to all of the posts: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/sear...searchid=28554
Maybe log out of Tapatalk completely and clear cache and cookies, etc. Log back in and see if that helps.
