After having had 5 litters and culling them all except 1 (because she only had 4) I have to say I'm not convinced I'm going to be able to carry on doing it, culling them I mean.
At the beginning I didn't really think about it and I was dead chuffed last week when I sexed the 4 remaining pew's and I'd correctly got 3 does and 1 buck but I removed 8 from a litter this morning, it still left me with 9 in the nest so I'll probably have to reduce again but I don't know if I can.
I felt SO AWFUL putting the box into the freezer I found it incredibly hard to shut the door and walk away, and I've been feeling glum ever since.
Will I be able to prodcue big healthy mice without culling?? Because I really don't know if I'll be able to do it any more
