What size leg bands are you looking for?? You can get quite a few sizes in a livestock store.

Exwizzard- yes, it was lucky I had an easy replacement for her, they were being grown to jumbo's for my bigger boys, and now 2 of them get to live past today!! (when the rest are being culled)

Re: how my mice roll

Very very cool. We are beginning the process of consolidating to the South Colony since that basement is so much bigger than ours. It can easily hold 11 racks no problem. The process will take a few weeks but its worth the effort.

Re: how my mice roll

well, hubby is still working on my 2nd rat rack (which is desperately needed ATM) THEN he'll start on our first mouse rack.

I just culled 6 - 4g fuzzies, as Khuno is moving on up they prey size scale!! I have left the other 7 from that litter to grow to adult for my girls. Probably another 19-22 days before I see another litter born after culling that canibal female.

Re: how my mice roll

mmm... I just culled 2 females (rats) out of colony 1 (they aged out) and have just started colony 2. So right now colony 1 is only 1.5, and colony 2 is only 1.2.

I forgot to include the 17 XLs and 2 XXL retirees so I guess that bumps the North Colony rats to 204.

Re: how my mice roll

Sorry Kyle, these Jumbos are already spoken for this Saturday. Your batch will come from elsewhere. Like I said, the continued high demand is a challenge to keep up with.

Re: how my mice roll

Ya, I found that it took a bit too!! But if you don't have any mice babies within 2 months, you may need to replace your male. It's what I had to do and 19 days after putting the new male in I had 2 litters. Just a thought!!
