raising mice for food question

[truthsdeceit]

totaly makes sence i know your lleaving for work so i'll wait till you get back but when you freeze the pinkies i think it was how long does it take for them to to sleep for say.... and how do you know what mouse is ready to be selected for supper....

I'm acctually already at work, slow day. So I'm on the pc, no worries, I just can't post pics cause I don't have them with me.

I've actually never had to p/k a pinkie my corn and king eat fuzzies/hoppers and my red tail and bp eat adult mice. I've been useing cervical dislocation to p/k lately. And I always p/k before freezing, in my opinion putting any live animal in the freezer is cruel.

The mouse is ready to be supper when it's the right size. The only time a mouse would not be a good meal is if it was sick. Lucky for me I've not had any sickly mice except for one mother who had her pups too young, she never gained her weight back and I fed her off rather than risk killing her with another pregnacy. She was safe to feed off since it wasn't a disease that made her sick.

Baby mice grow fast.

Subscribe to it if you want to see them continue to grow up. This is one of the groups I plan on keeping back in the grow out bin. And I'll be posting more pics of them tonight when I get home.
