giving them away (hopping mice)

Yeah, I'm totally giving them away... they breed like crazy. even though we finally split our males and females a few weeks back (looking forward to hearing from you Harley, to give our box back and give me your wildlife licence number. I've lost your number), 20-odd days later we have another litter with another one to follow. We only had four, they killed one and now the one who's about to give birth (or has) keeps kicking the older babies out of the nest (they still have their eyes closed, so very fragile). i would think carefully about planning to breed these guys, certainly not in the hope of selling them. We've got them coming out our ears. don't forget the wildlife licence won't let you pass them on in the first 6 months of getting them. they are cool, but it's a cut-throat little world.
