Lol. Actually, while you make good points, what you have stated is exactly what I'm trying to do with these mice. Get these mice as big as I can in the shortest amount of time possible. They are quite skimpy from the store, so I want to fatten them up before I feed them off. Lifespan is not an issue. I am not feeding them dog food however, just so you know.
