Swiss webster mice

[Beardedragon]

Its pretty hard to get swiss websters, and shipping will kill you if you can get some that are not local. The bright side is, they have 20+ sized litters everytime so its worth it if you can. Id get asfs, they have huge litters once started. One just gave me 19.

Harlan Teklad does carry the swiss-webster strain of mice, if they will sell to you.

They sold 5.20 mice to a good friend of mine about 10 years ago. He is still breeding from inbred animals from the same 25 mice and has probably produced over 1 million mice since the beginning. He paid a premium for each mouse, $2.50 each I think, but they pay for themselves with production.

Harlan has changed their policies quite a bit from what I understand, and if you aren't grandfathered in or are from an institution or lab, they very often won't sell to you.

BUT, never hurts to try! I've only ever contacted them about global diets, and they had some steep requirements to order directly from them.

You may have to do some indepth searching on their site to find a good strain of mice for maximum production. They have hundreds of strains, so the best bet would be to call them and talk to someone. They will help you with what you need. They have 2 strains of Swiss Webster, and possibly a third. Tell them what you are looking for and they will be happy to help. Shipping may run you a babies arm and leg, but in the long run it will save you tons. Good luck and let us know how you come out.
