I'm extremely low on funding (like, flat broke) and it's gotten to where I can't get appropriately sized mice on a consistent basis. I have a friend who raises his own and will give them to me fairly cheap (25 cents a mouse!), but I can't get out to his place very often so I usually buy in bulk and freeze it all, only I haven't been able to do so lately. Every pet store I've been to nearby has mice too large for my ball, and it's a bit too expensive for my budget to keep getting them every week- the last place I bought was around $5 for 4 mice. My mother looked up a few things and found something that said we could use a mixture of meats and make our own 'mice' to feed my Ball with. Is this a good idea, and if so, what kinds of meats should I use and how should I prepare them?
