"What are Retired Mice?

We look after our Mice's health and well being as a priority, and as such we won't over breed them.

Mice may be retired for a number of reasons, be it older age for the males (time off for good service!), females who have had a number of litters and need a break, or those mice for whom the breeding process has become too much of a strain.

All mice that we sell are healthy, though as you can no doubt imagine they have a more limited life span after sale as a result of our using them until an older age for breeding. "
