I only run lab mice, Swiss Webster's to be precise. No fancies for me.

I have both fancy and lab mice. Most are fancy though only because I love the color variations and I sell my extras to pet stores. They use them either as feeders or resell them as pets.

I started out with Swiss Websters from a local large scale breeder, and quickly got bored of albino mice. So I bought 3 male fancy mice from local pet stores and added them to the mix. 7 generations later, I've got assorted mice of all colors and patterns.

Swiss Websters are known for their higher number litters. So if you're looking for a lot of mice per birth, then these are the mice for you.

Me? I'm apt for something a little more creative looking and some smaller litters, as I don't need too awful many mice.

Whatever you have locally should be ok, provided it's pet quality. Don't get the cheap feeder mice from the back room and expect them to do any good. A good diet, clean and comfy home, and they should produce quite well.


Btw, not to be rude, but proper spelling and grammar goes a long way in an ever increasingly text based world. :crazy02:

good ima steal a pinky next time my borthers mice have a litter

.... um by the way im a ad speller and i also play online games so i have a habbit of not completeley spelling stuff all the way like u do on papper

I play Diablo online as well as a MUD, and I don't have any problem spelling correctly. If anything, it's taught me how to spell correctly really fast.

For me however, it takes me a while to try to decypher what in the world the numbers for letters and extra or non-existant letters actually mean. Maybe I'm just getting too old to imagine what garbled sentences are supposed to say.

All it takes is practice and a keen eye to spot your mistakes before hitting the submit button. Beware of the trap youngin's are falling in nowadays with the advent of "IM Culture". If we revamp the way the younger generation spells things, in a few years we'll have a completely different language from that of the rest of the population. And no, that wouldn't be cool. Having enough problems trying to understand kids around town as it is. =P

True - missing or extra letters make it harder. Prefer proper spelling myself. There's actually a program that will spellcheck online forms such as forum submissions. Don't use it myself but if anyone is interested: free spellchecker

I play on line games and I know the lingo there, D00d speak, and gamer speak. However you are 15 and in school so we know you, know how to type your sentences properly.

I know there are typos and misspelling errors, but your smart enough to know the difference. Plus it makes it easier for folks to help you out.

So what is being asked if you leave the dude speak for the MMORPGS. Before I pwn J00! your typing is teh sux! :crazy02:

I play a couple FPS's as well and I can't stand the lingo there either.

Ownage!
