Not sure on this Dom. But maybe you should at least wait until after their first shed. :dumb:

I believe it's fine from birth... I've heard that it is less dangerous when they are very young... But perhaps what I've read is wrong.

Thanks

It is true that it is better when young, but not less dangerous, just easier. When they get older and learn muscle control, it is extremely difficult to get males to pop. It IS less dangerous to pop than to probe hatchlings and neonates.

If you don't know what you're doing, then they will never be old enough. If you do, then you can do it right away.

I will have to get over early next week to see them Dom. Got to go straight to rat pinks no mice.
Oh the paper work was sent out Friday for us.
