>>Now I am curious about your experience....how big are the litters, how big are the pinks and what is their max growth size? And do yours bite the crap out of you....the only ones I have met personally were from a local here and she said what I encountered was normal....hyper biters.

First group was hell on wheels. I got a second group from a different breeder . They are not perfect, but I haven't been bit in several years. I still have a few nasty ones, but I think that is from my first group. Litters have always been above ten. I feed them to everything but ball pythons. Atb, Womas, sand Boas. I like the fact they smell less. Eayt the same rat food I do supplement them with some seeds. The pinks e bigger. I just breed a few mice for the baby atb. But mostly I sell all I produce and people always want more
