Very exciting! But if you want to breed for show (or was it just show type) wouldn't you want to get a trio of the same variety?

Yup, I know 
Part of the reason I only got three, just to start small and see how things go. I can't wait to get them! I've also had mice before when I was younger, we even raised a little wild mouse. My brothers found it in a wheelbarrow because our barn was being cleaned out, and we must have disturbed a nest. It was just starting to get its fur when we found it, and had little bugs crawling on it. I forgot what kind of milk replacer we gave it, but we fed it with a string since it didn't like the syringes. I remember my mom also gave it a tiny, tiny bit of Capstar, and it got rid of the bugs. I know capstar you shouldn't give to them, but we were desperate, lol! We figured it would either kill it or cure it.
Here she is a day or two after we found her
And here she is all grown up
