Thanks for your input. We borrowed a pinky pump from a petshop earlier today, and well... it's done. I would have rather just kept the mice whole, but the pump seemed to be the easiest and less stressful in the long run.
Which brings up a question.
At what point and/or weight did your twins take food on their own? We realize to feed like this forever is not doable, but we do not keep and breed animals because we are willing to throw them away either. So at what point do you decide to cool them down and let them go?
We don't believe in selling or forcing an animal "to be" if that animal fails to thrive, as that's also the way mother nature works, but for disadvantaged or slow starters giving some assistance so that it can establish itself is totally ok.
I wouldn't say it's a hard choice, but it's not something we take lightly either.
