Shaving mouse?

[Thepythonman12]

Can i shave the feeder mice?This is a serious question i want to feed mice with less hair but i have no where near me to buy hairless mice like some of you guys have.So is it ok if i buy some clippers (small ones) and just shave most of the hair off the mouse then wash it to get the clipped hair pieces off?Right now in my mind there is nothing that can go wrong with this so is it a bad idea or can i go for it and if it makes any difference i can pre kill the mouse before i shave it.

Trust me if they can digest bones, nails, teeth, a little fur is not gonna hurt them they do it all the time. You are not feeding angora hamsters you are feeding mice

Of course if you want to make simple thing more complicated why not?

Deborah is correct. Snakes digest the hair and bones. There really is no reason to shave a feeder mouse.
