And THATS what I'm looking for! I'm disliking you more and more everyday Heather
I will eventually use them for feeders, but until they are thriving as a colony, I will also have fun, breeding for color and pattern. Some may end up as permanent pets, who knows.
Haha! If we lived closer, I'd happily share.
You should have seen the ones I had last spring. I got some gorgeous silky grey(dark smoke grey) that were glossy looking from a friend, they were so cool.
I ended up having to cull them all off, because I keep them in the laundryroom, which is an add-on room to the back of the house I'm renting & it was getting too hot in there as it got warmer & they weren't doing well. I started a couple colonies after it cooled off, & am hoping they'll do ok through the winter.
After I buy a house, I'll make sure I have a well inslulated (from heat & cold) place for them & I will have a larger setup of mice, rats & ASF's, & be fully self-sufficient for feeding, & maybe sell some of them as fancy pets.
You and me both! But I live closer to Heather than you, so maybe I have a chance of getting a couple from her for my colonies. I don't mean for that to sound rude, just a neener-neener.
LOL! You know, some of these colored ones I picked up from Glacier Rodents, at the last expo. They have a nice selection of fancy mice, live & frozen for sale.
I think Jen, on here also has fancy mice, but I think she either didn't bring them that show, or she sold out right away, I cannot remember.
