food for thought

im sick of going to the pet store and paying for pinkies , but ive had mice before with really bad results id like to breed them and take their babies but the Smell and changing the bedding sucks!
Has anyone perfected a way to breed mice that's not hard on my nose and is cost effective? im open to all ideas , i just feel if i could produce the food myself i save money and spend it towards the snakes ie living space ,time,travel, books-etc if youve successfully dealt with this issue let me know.

If you want to breed them you deal with the scent and maintenance. No magic method to change it..

Buy frozen in bulk.

What they said. Pinkies bought in bulk are pretty cheap. Either find a local reptile expo or order online from somewhere like RodentPro

One hundred pinkies from rp is $32.00 Plus shipping if you need them shipped.

I just bought 275 pinks to fuzzies from Layne Labs for $105 shipped. If they will eat them, bulk F/T is definitely the way to go!

To breed mice, and make it worth the time, money, and smell - you'd need a massive collection, or you're a breeder. As everyone else said you should order online in bulk, or buy at an expo. I keep mice 6-8 months frozen no problem, so I only order twice a year. That offsets the shipping, and crucifies the pet store price as well. Good luck.

i didn't want to keep mice anyway
now i have to shop around for the best places to buy in bulk
