Mice of the Day 04-04-15

 Show & Tell

Okay, not snakes, but these are certainly a part of maintaining them.  Just two months prior to needing small mouse pinkies, I replace older mouse breeders with young adults.  The result is many and small pinkies.  About half of the pinkies in this daily harvest were under 2 grams in weight.  I use CO2 gas to euthanize the pinkies prior to freezing.  This time of year we harvest between 300 and 450 pinkies per DAY.  Not bad for 88 mouse cages.
