Well...its just now time to try to feed them. I start mine on "crawler" mice. What you're looking for are mice that are about half way between a fuzzy and a hopper. They are just starting to open their eyes, and can crawl around a bit. Go fo colored ones...black or brown if possible.

The problem with hoppers is that their rapid movements can scare timid first time feeders. After 2 or 3 meals on crawlers, progress to hoppers then adult mice or rat pups.

Good luck!
