Where to get live hopper mice?

[monix]

OK so I am told on here by many to try live hopper mice on my non-feeders...
yet no one has advised where they can be bought from? Hence why i made this separate thread...

Can anyone suggest in Brisbane where i can get some?

i just cannot seem to find... :|

Breed your own?

(Oh, and be prepared to cop it for promoting live feeding...)

 

[kupper]

it is illegal to feedd live things to your snakes but if you have a non feeder im sure people may possibly turn a blind eye

 

[monix]

i know how bad it is to feed live.. but if you refer to this thread.. you will see i am fast running out of options

i dont have time to breed my own. i just need some to get these lil buggers to eat!
so please only serious posts.. or PMs..

What species are you having trouble feeding?

 

[MrBredli]

Did a quick search, Coastals i see... have you tried gently rubbing the rodents on/around the snake's neck?

 

[kupper]

you could just starve them for six weeks then try again

Seriously?

Not a good idea to FURTHER starve already skinny hatchlings.

EPA says we cant keep hopping mice in Qld as in Qld we can't keep Marsupials. So feeding live hopping mouse isn't an option in Qld..

He means HOPPER mice, the size between fuzzies and weaners, you know. :lol: Not the native mice.

LOL hopping mice aren't marsupials and they are referring to hopper mice, which is a size of ordinary mice.

Try pet city in Wishart.
I used to get my mice there.

 

[shonny]

my mistake with hopper mice.... I thought u guys were referring to Hopping mice (which are Marsupial not rodents)...sorry

 

[KaaTom]

I thought they were talking about hopping mice too....

 

[Pike01]

I think youll find theyre rodents like I said.

 

[abbott75]

(which are Marsupial not rodents)

Sorry, but they are rodents. Not that that is of any importance in this thread.

As a matter of fact if you call the EPA they will tell you they are marsupials...

Yeh but look at all the other dodgy info the EPA seems to give out. :lol: They are of the order Rodentia and last time I remember rodents werent marsupials.

Honestly, the EPA wouldn't know a marsupial from a crocodile. Hopping mice are rodents. That is a fact.
