Toothless Mice

[twentyeggs]

Hello, I am just curious about the interest the reptile community would have if stores or even maybe an online source sold toothless mice. One of the big reasons people do not feed live is the danger of bites from mice and rats. However if this danger was removed, would this change your feeding preferences? To keep it short, I was involved in a research study that involved mice with an osteopetrotic mutation. They live and behave just like normal mice, but grow up with small stubs to zero tooth production. I am considering the prospect of bringing some of the mice home and breeding them as feeders for local stores and maybe offer them online if there is any success.

What are your thoughts?
