Ooooh, I had a dream about these last night! Darn that pond between us!

Roland, I never scrolled down and looked at your flowers. You are something of a Renaissance man, aren't you?! What do yo use to induce the genetic doubling? I experimented with colchisine(sp-sorry too lazy to look it up on a Sunday morning) when I was younger, but I 'm sure there are a number of better ways these days, as that was 40 years ago.

Casey, they're all over the place where you and I live!

Deer mice are so much fun to watch; there used to be a Live Mousiecam on Petrodents that actually worked and I loved to bop in and watch the dippy darlings. mugwumpr had caught them in her desk at work, which belies the fact that they don't exist in northern climes, as she lives in Alberta, I think; somewhere near to the Canadian Rockies.

I'd love to catch some and try taming them. :?

No, no Rennaissance man, just an old man

I know the kids today use gene technology only. BAH! I do not want to change the genes, I just want to double the numbers :mrgreen: . Indeed I use the old fashioned method with colchizine. It is an ugly drug. Nobody should use it, who is not able to handle carcinogenic drugs, and has the chance to use an underpressure flowbench in a lab. My current project is to create tetraploid Brugmansia. Can you imagine an brugmansia with twice the size as a diploid? Here is a pic of a diploid brugmansia:

Last November I trapped and released a bunch of deer mice! They were stupid enough to walk into my house full of cats, so they'd probably be fairly easy to tame. :lol:

If it happens again this year, I can hold onto them for you and send them up your way.

Good Ghodz, man, I hope you have already procreated to whatever extent you wished to. I was amazed the stuff they let us Biology Club kids get into back in high school. But, then, I was also allowed to experiment with heart lung machines built by a fellow student. We used guinea pigs for those works. Later, I helped isolate a clotting factor in guinea pig blood. It was so much fun. I can hardly remember having so much fun at any time in my life.

I was a protogeek; when I was young we used to program with 1's and 0's, and sometimes we ran out of ones....

Hi, I have them for sale. People from outside of Germany, who come to pick up them at my door, get the Deers for free, do not have to pay a single cent.
I have about 10 at the moment, which are available.
Have a look here: http://www.repage7.de/member/drofi/abga ... lable.html

All the best,Roland

Today I got several deermice from a different line. The animals are from a research laboratory and some animal rescue people organized the transfer. The lab guys do not want to kill the animals which are not needed for experiments, they are happy if they find a home as pets. Nice people.
I got 8 of them, but not 8 females as they told us, there was 1 buck and 7 females in the group. Well, I'm a breeder, so I do not care...
These deermice are used to live in tiny macrolon boxes and got water and pellets only. The first hour they were unable to run straight forward, they moved in small circles and made saltos backwards.
Now they are the happiest deermice the world has seen. Life can be so exciting if you have been a lab mouse all of your life and get free! They experience the taste of leafes, vegetables and seeds, and they have a lot of fun in their new box. They notice that they do not need to run in circles and that they can climb. Wow, life is beautiful!
I am sure, these mice think that they are in mouse heaven now.
Yes they are: Welcome in Chilloutarea Mousery!

Why do you tell other folks not to breed wild mousies when you keep and breed them yourself?

Rolands Deer Mice are not from the wild.They come from a lab, they therfore have been through quarenteen and present no threat to other animals.The context of a previous thread was about catching wild mice and putting them in with fancy stock.This is not the case with Rolands Deer Mice.
