Magee is the male breeder mouse and his ladies are Mocha and Cocoa (named for their fur colors by the kids). We talked it out with the kidlets (older ones anyways) and agreed we will name the breeders but NOT their babies as they are for food. The kids understand that the breeders will eventually get fed out and replaced by new breeders, so they really shouldn't get too attached.

The mice are more of a fascination for the kids as they are new, but they have their pet rats that can be handled and played with unlike these lil nipping mice, so I'm sure the bloom will go off that rose real fast LOL.
