Just recently got my Corn, (Friday), and Monday was his feeding day. The pet store informed me that, they would put a pinky in a seperate cage and then put the corn in and allow him to find the food on his own time. When i attempted this myself, he got into his "S" shape and seemed to want to strike, figuring he was only hungry, and since he's in a strange new place. I decided to ...

As my colonies of rats and mice continue to grow, I have began looking for a cheaper food that still does the job. I've found bits and pieces of random info about using hog feed, but have never found a thread dedicated to it. Who uses it, and what seems to be the results you are having? Also, if you have any good info. on why you should or shouldn't use it, please post it for ...

Ive read on other threads that when starting a first time breeding colony the mice will often eat the first litter. My question is if u have 1:2 for example, would u expect the first litter from both females to be eaten or just the first litter of one of the two?

I heard about a certain type of Mice that have around 25 babies at a time and can't remember the name of them. If anyone knows the name of them and were to purchase them I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Becky

Worked out the kinks on my rat rack and built a couple of them...very inexpensive and easy to build. I did this write up for my site about a Year ago and thought I would share it with anyone looking to save money by breeding their own. Without looking at my receipts Im guessing this rack cost less than 150.00 bucks including the automatic watering system. Estimate: 35.00 for tubs 30.00 ...

I have this idea I want to run past you guys. I'm pretty sure it will work, but I would like some opinions. I'm just in the planing stages. I was thinking of getting co2 canisters the ones for whipping cream or seltzer bottles, to use for putting mice out. The are readily available to me. But I started wondering how would I get a valve so I can let out some co2 into a container. Then I...

I read the testomonials on both sites but I would like to get peoples opions from here so at least I no...
