I've had to do the blending thing before for some baby turtles that we got in at work.  We couldn't get them to eat anything and the vet recommeded pinky parts.  So we blended them up and named it "Meeses Pieces" and the turtles started eating right away.

"meeses pieces" lol that's so wrong.  well, hubby has decided that we're gonna be tight on time this weekend and asked me to look around and see if i can find a pre made cage that i like.  do you know any chain stores, or websites even that sell bigger cages?  all the ones i can find are itty bitty    the thought of the small animal cages came up (like the big multi level ferret condos) but i don't think the draftiness would work.

I can't think of any place that would have some relatively inexpensive ones.  But I did thing of using like an old wardrobe or armoire.  Target has the relatively cheap furniture and if you find one that has the glass doors or you can pop out part of the door panel and replace with a wire mesh for good airflow.  The varnish on the inside should make the wood water resistant.  You can also leave some of the shelves for elevated resting spots and attach a light on the inside of the enclosure.  That's all I can think of right now but I'll keep thinking.

thanks!  we thought of that also, but couldn't find any armoires with doors we could easily change to fit the needs.  i didn't think of target though!  thanks!

Girls,
I just have to tell you that I have a wicked, wicked hangover today and I was reading these posts first thing in the morning and almost hurled.  But I couldn't stop looking...like a bad accident.

I'm feeling better now, so I can read BPO more.

I'm right there with you (on hurling-not the hangover) but the frozen mice reminded me of my high school job.  I worked at a tropical and saltwater fish and aquarium store.  We use to also sell crickets and other live feeders as well as frozen mice.  The frozen mice were soooo funny.  They were called mice on ice and the packaging looked like ice trays.  Though they were mice trays.  Yeah, and the packaging also had illustrations of mice ICE SKATING.  Totally weird...

lmao how lucky.  last time i bought frozen mice to try out, it was a thing like a butter bucket, and had the mice frozen in little baggies...
