RAW DIET: FROZEN MICE
Back to Index

The mail order things are VERY expensive! At first I thought they were great prices, but unless you buy huge quantities, they are the same price wise as the local shops, at least for me.

The pinkies, are just that - little, hairless, pink things. Unless you look hard, they really don't look like an animal. The adult mice are fur covered, and well, they are mice.

The only prep I do is pop about 6 mice into a baggie, float in warm water till thawed and no longer cold. I usually rinse them off then, pat them dry, and serve on a plate!

My adult girl eats 6 small adult mice per meal, but I started her on pinkies, cause she wasn't real sure about the fur at first. However, once she tasted mouse meat, she could figure out the fur in the older ones.

It's a complete meal, and none of my other adults have ventured to taste them yet, but the young kittens gobble them right up.
