Exactly! I've got some white mice, which do seem to have large litters, but the rest I'm breeding into them the pretty ones and selecting out the best of them. Too bad you can't get them from Jen, hers are so tame, it is such a pleasure to work with them.

Even if you could punch a bunch of holes in the box, how would you pad them so they didn't get hurt while shipped? And they can't go without water very long. I think Buzzard & Jamie should be able to help you and would be your best bet, they have some nice mice.

Wish you were closer since I could probably help you out with some very nice looking mice (various colors, marked, satins, foxes, etc.). Also have African Pygmy mice (which are cool, wee, mice). However, it seems you are well on your way to finding some that are close by.
The only way for a private owner/breeder to ship mice is via the airlines (i.e. Delta). They cannot be shipped via USPS, UPS, FedEx. It's not cheap. So, it is possible that shipping may be more than you wish to pay.

Nice find! Funny that I'm a "snake guy", but whenever I go into Petsmart for bedding, I scope out the rodent section for pretty mice.

Good job Michael! What sex? Which ever it is, if you want more, just breed it to any old mouse, then breed the offspring together and breed one of the offspring back to the parent. You should soon start to have more of them. Better if you breed to two different one, then the kids would be 1/2 sibs. A bit more genetic variation in them. Although I don't know that mice suffer from inbreeding depression like some other animals (or plants for that matter) do.

BTW I have found this website helpful for mouse genetics, I don't think it has been updated in a long time so a couple of the links go nowhere, but there is still good info there

Jen (ghosthousecorns) was just telling me to watch Pet Smart, as around here they only sell males and they aren't cheap, but you can get some interesting colors from them. Breed them to some cheap females and in 2 generations you can have some interesting fancy mice.
