My mouse colonies - Fancy & feeders

**infernalis** · 02-04-10, 04:20 PM

I would have posted this in the food for thought, but I don't feed them all off, in fact I only feed a small percentage of them off, the rest are sold for pets.

I am rather fond of mice with patterns, my favourite is what I call "blond cows"

Awww...so cute. But, they smell sooo awful. Blech.

I learned a trick to stop that smell.

The boys mark their territory, so when I change the cages, I only wipe out the inside with a paper towel, Do NOT wash the inside, the males will start spraying all over again.

once they know their cage is truly theirs, they will stop marking it.

Cool. In the animal room at my school, they have a room for mice and whenever anyone opens the door, it's a horrid smell- pungent and musky and just nasty. They change entire cages twice a week, so perhaps the spraying is the problem there...hmmm. That's a cool idea.

Very efficient Sean, I sell 100 mice to the pet store, and get 700 from rodent pro with the money.

That's a very favorable ratio

and the pet store gets me 50 pound sacks of feed at her wholesale price.

Wow Wayne, sounds like you can really hustle mice hahaha! j/k but definitely a favorable ratio! i may start breeding rodent colonies once i get my own house, not sure the other apartment residents would be too amazed at breeding mice hehehehe
