mice vs rats- weight/fullness

[rperry03]

I bought one of those cheap plastic pet carriers to stop that from happening

Yup same here (critter cage) or the right size sterlite container with a locking lid

^Yup, we occasionally have to pick up live when our colony isn't being productive and we just use one of our extra 28qt tubs with a lid. They have sat in there for half a day before and no escapees, just a nasty, dirty tub to clean.

just a nasty, dirty tub to clean.

I put about an inch of bedding in mine and change it once a month Its only used to get 12 mice once a week (till mine start breeding) and they might be in it for 2 to 3 hours if they are lucky
