starting mouse colony
We are going to be starting a mice colony for feeder (f/t) mice. We are interested in black, brown and gray mice. Does anyone know where we can get the "parent" mice to get the colony started? Now that we are up to 70 snakes and have 6 pairs who we hope will breed, though they are being stubborn right now, buying mice will soon be expensive. I get my mice from American Rodent and the prices are pretty good. But even so, $300 in frozen mice in the freezer with $300 on the way still won't last through the year. So we are hoping to get our own colony started this spring. I also have friends who need mice too so this will be a win/win situation..hopefully..plus I want to keep 2 for pets. We want to get the racks started first but still need to find out where to start
