I know what you meen! i have not gone over yet (which is unheard of lol) but i nearly did 5 mins ago when i went out to the rodent shed... where i have been walking its turned into skating ring.
I am feeding the mice loads but i have found cheep cream crakers seem to be going down well, I have been putting one in each tub every other day and that helps a little.

26p a packet at tesco, half a craker in each of your tubs could be done with £1.04 p i reckon

The thought of people slipping over in this weather does me cringe but it also make me have a nervouse laugh..
I saw a man yesterday trying to walk in the snow with crutches and a platic thing on his leg.. made me wonder if he had done that slipping over, I bet the hospitals have had no end of breaks comming through the door.

I really dont know what would happen if i broke my leg or arm.. I am the only one that looks after the rodents (shed full) and snakes (room full) its the rodents that i would worry about more as they need constant attention.

Sorry to hear about the mice Ian, a freind of mine has done really bad this last few weeks loosing over 50 mice from the cold, not sure what she is doing different. Mine are doing ok, i have lots of rats in the shed aswell so i have the heater on 24/7 at the moment to keep the temps at about 14oc. Its costing a bomb but i cant risk any lower temps with the rats.

Ian I will have some abbys ready over the next 4/5 weeks i will keep a trio if you like to replace these ones

I have just checked on all my recent activity with the abbys and i had 3 expectant mums...
One isnt feeding them ( they have no milk bands and they were born yesterday but then the wrong female has been sitting on them so i have removed her)
Then the other two have culled their own litters (first time mums so might be that or the cold?)

I just hope the non fed litter are going to be fed now but if not i have a show female that is about to drop so i might be able to sneek a few in with her if she gives birth soon.

but i also have a 2 week old litter that are looking good ( not brilliant rossetts though) and some of these are broken .. pink eyed broken satins. I think one of the good swirly bucks is a broken and has your name on it Ian
