My mum couldnt care less, she loves Lacey, she says providing she never sees the mice or Lacey eating she is more than happy which is fair enough. :) I dont think she will be so keen when Lacey is on small mice or something of the sort which are a fair bit larger than pinkies! :P

Well i used to buy them one at a time from my local pet shop... mainly because when I got Sir Hiss I hadnt told my mum and dead mice in the freezer might have been a give away. It was actually my mum who told me to start keeping lots in... it was when the whether was really bad last year, she told me to get a load in incase I couldnt get to the shops, she didnt want my snake to go hungry!!
I dont think the mice bother her half as much as the crickets do... especially when i accidently liberate a few of them :( |

Oh dear! Thats just the sort of thing my mum would do if I still lived under her roof lol!... though the fella keeps threatening to throw them out as I keep a bag of pinkies, a bag of fuzzies and a bag of frozen worms (for my daughters frog) in a bag but too close to our food for my fellas comfort lol! |

my lovely other half has given me the bottom drawer in the freezer for mice, on the condition that if she finds 'em anywhere else I'm likely to find one in my curry one night  |

Take a big black marker and write a polite reminder on your new tub. Or draw a mickey mouse symbol. |

I know they will be fine... I was just a bit annoyed. I kept them in an old ice cream tub, when she was cleaning out she picked it up and assumed it was a nearly empty tub of ice cream so chucked it. It was more the fact that she suggested giving them pigs in blankets that made me worry about her inteligence! lol! |

That made me laugh, don't be too harsh on your Mum I'm sure the Xmas lunch was worth losing a few mice. Don't worry about snakey either they can go weeks/months without food so a few days wait for new supplies will do them no harm. |
