    There are two facilities in the south east. One in South Florida, and one about 3 hours from Atlanta. I do not know about facilities in the North. You basically have to take your product to the facility to get the process done. It is time consuming and costly, but Mice Direct is doing it at the direction of the FDA

    That will be way out of the question i guess. I dont breed on large scale to afford all that for the rodents. But then again i wash my hands in between touching mice and rats or feeding snakes.

    Just use a good quality food, clean your cages on a regular basis and wash your hands after handling. I think that is a reasonable approach for a small scale home breeder like yourself. If you were selling thousands of rodents all over the country I would image you would want to take some extra measures.

    Always kept clean(every 4-5 days) fed Mazuri or Kent and hand sanitizer and Dial all over.

    Do not expect to become rodent breeder. Just hoped id be able to take the extra step easier than driving hours. Maybe in time somewhere up here in Michigan it will be easily accessed.
