Not too long ago someone on the feeder forum said they were getting too many mice and questioned if they should maybe get more snakes! LOL!!



So there you go, breed your mice and get a monitor, water dragon, or snake to clean up the surplus!



Or, get a group of 1.2 or 1.3 and take all of the pinks and freeze them. When you think you have enough stockpiled find a snake or monitor keeper to give the group to. When you need more pinks start over! Sounds silly but this would work. Otherwise you can order frozen prekilled pinks and lastly you can find pinks at most mom & pop reptile stores.



Also, check your local herp club and find someone who keeps snakes and see if you can work something out to buy a few pinks from them.



If none of this works for you don't worry about it. Pinks aren't mandatory from what we know at this point in time. They are just useful sometimes in getting a new mom interested in eating again after laying her eggs. Most moms get right back to eating but the occasional one needs a boost.
