DO you ever feel like dropping it all...
I love keeping and breeding mice and have done now for aprox 6 years solid but from time to time i just want to stop!
I think sometimes the work i put into it can get me down .. and the big expence it can be at times but the main factor is other people really!
I get really fed up of people that are not genuine. The last few months i have been holding onto stock for people (quite a few for weeks to months) only to be let down time and time again with every excuse in the book ( and trust me i have heard alot over the years so i am not a fool) and people that are just not honist. I cant stand lies! its one of my big hates.

It makes me sad really, I try to be as honist as i can with everything , i am a genuine person (or at least i think i am) and all i want in return is honisty and people to share my interests with.

Is it just me? :cry:

*sorry to rant i have also met some lovely genuine people who keep mice, its people like you that put a smile on my face and keep me enjoying my hobby*

Aww chin up, it is very frustrating to have time wasters :( I've had this time and again with rats. I wish people would just say they had changed their minds rather then leaving the animals with me to grow up while I turn away other prospective owners :(
Thanks Julie
it is annoying and even more so with rats. With the rats i will keep a waiting list and then when they are born take deposits from the people on the waiting list ( unless they are returning for more like quite often happens, then i trust them) and then i advertise them and will only hold a kitten with a deposit that must be paid before they are ready to go. soooo many time wasters with rattys.

It has happened to me many times, and yes it is VERY frustrating. It makes you not want to supply anyone with stock because despite what you think you can never tell who will be the one to let you down. Mind you I suppose its worse when you find out afterwards that they have sold the animals on, not bothered breeding/showing (which is why you gave them your best mice) or worse.
I know what you mean, i thought about not supplying mice anymore but then i really helps to pay for the food and the heating and the bedding. I also get to meet some lovely people and make some friends :D
