First of all, check with your local herp club. Usually they know of somebody who breeds mice or where they can get them.
I breed a bunch of mice, mainly because I have a large collection of herps and it makes sense for me to do. I also have a large outdoor shed which works very well because of the smell, but I clean my tubs every week regardless and that helps. The mice at pet stores usually are quite small. I was having the same problem when I was buying rats. Now I raise my own, mainly for the quantity needed though. I had an opportunity to supply both a feed store and a local pet shop, but I did not. Instead, I offer to the pet owner, herp breeder, and fellow herpers themselves. I charge half of what a pet or feed store would and they are bigger. I really didn't do this as a profit center just so long as it pays for the food, I'm happy. Any hobby that can help pay for itself is a good hobby, I say. I put a lot of work into what I do, but I still enjoy it.
