Being vegan i don't believe in raising animals for food...for ANY species.
And i certainly don't agree with people breeding mice and murdering the young and telling people its because snakes need to eat. the next step is feeding the snakes live mice!

Live feeding is horrible and illegal over here.
The mice i raise for food have a good diet, a healthy size are not over bred. I use the two most humane methods causing less stress as possible.
"True animal lovers, Love all animals not just selected species" a little quote ive heard somewhere dont ask me where because it was long ago but it just sticks in my mind.
I know you can get snakes that eat bird eggs only,do you believe that is also wrong.
Do you also believe that nature is wrong aswel ? animals eat animals deal with it. If people chose to keep an animal that eats other animals then its there responsiblity to find the best food source avaiable.
Im sure if i was to breed my rats id make more money than i am at the moment breeding mice.
i keep my mice in a shed, which is well isulated, lighted, heated and has a good airflow. I spend £100-£150 a month on stuff for my mice and rats.
I only have about 27 mice at the moment and 6 rats ( thinking about rescuing some more females as the 4 i have all came from breeders )
