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.
I feel you! I got rid of my breeder rats when I moved. I have a great guy who delivers to me weekly, and he's also a customer of mine, so I sell critters to him for cash and rat credit.
We have a nice time visiting with him and his girlfriend each week and talk shop.

I still have a couple of tubs of rats for those stubborn live feeders and a few colonies of mice for the hoppers but overall having the extra time for other things has been wonderful.
