I USED to breed all of my mice and rats, and it's a great way to save money or even make a little, but I found I was spending WAY too much time with them. I was spending a good three or four times more time with a bunch of stinky rodents then I was with my snakes, I was even spending more time with the rodents then I was with my family. That's when I decided that I'd rather pay for someone else to raise them and have that time back for other things.
