Hey everyone I was just wondering if any one knows of a good place to purchase frozen adult mice online. The pet store I buy my mice at has just jacked the price up from $4.90 for 4 to $4.90 for one adult mouse, crazy rip-off, I bought 10 mice today for $50, I almost got sick, oh yeah I live in Eastern Canada and need advise on where to buy frozen mice online or on how to breed mice? Thanks...

good idea Candy,


Jerome,
do you have herp society in your area? that’s how i built up my connections, then about 4 years later all my local suppliers went belly up so now i have to drive 200miles round trip.
if you can’t find any localy then follow Candy’s suggestion. but if you buy from a petshop you’re gonna get ripped.

How to raise mice and rats.

Good link on calculating cage size; more orientated towards pets, but will serve well for feeders, too.

Have it all set up now with a 1:3 pair of mice, found two large females today and my male is all over the two of them, I think my first female is still a little young. I will keep everyone posted and hopefully post some pic’s soon...

One thing nice about keeping a small colony of mice, they are very entertaining in their own right. Mine like to play on their wheels and rummage around in the assortment of materials I give them to build nests with, like cotton balls and timothy hay. I am using a cockatiel seed feeder to dispense their food, as they tend to foul an open dish. They can reach into the bird feeder and get items but it is hard to roost in and pee or poop up.
Some photos of your mice would be fun!
