Baby Mouse?

[sidneymysnake]

Well we went to the pet store and got some snake food and (hopefully) some future breeding rats. Well we got 4 rats and 3 fuzzie mice...2/3 of the fuzzies got eaten but the other one was still alive this morning. He is dehydrated so I gave him some water through a dropper which he took happily same with a pellet of food that was given to him. So what do I do now? Do I keep him? No one else is small enough to eat him. So I don't know what to do, the store won't take him back so yeah...I'm stuck. Any advise?

hmm your feeding live?? do you need mice for any other reps? grow it and get another to mate it with lol or let it grow and feed it  or.. knock it and freeze it .. or just freeze it :S for next time. wow rep keepers are mean lol or you could always keep it as a pet hehe

Yeah...I tried feeding it to the corn snake but she wouldn't take it then it got super dehydrated so I tried again and Dagger took it with no issues.

I'm trying to breed rats right now though so I don't have to spend so much on animal food but we'll see.

The whole 'feeding live' thing is quite complicated in this house lol.

Fluffy-burmese python, Dagger-cornsnake, and noname-Dumerils monitor all eat frozen or at the very least pre-killed.

Sidney and Cous Cous (ball pythons) and the nile monitor REFUSE to eat anything not moving. Well it seems that anytime other than breeding season Cous doesn't wanna eat at all...

Basically I tried to keep the mouse alive after the nile and Dagger refused it but it got sick and I couldn't help it so I tried Dagger one last time and she finished it off.

That's life with reptiles I guess...although I do have a mouse and a rat in the freezer because of refused meals.
