Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

Update:
Culled two from one of my litters, and tried offering the freshly killed (4 days old) mice to the cats.
Lightbulb completely ignored them. He'll take the most work. He's lived as an inside cat the majority of his life (only time he was outside was a short time after he was born, then I got him, and he's been inside since).
Paperclip played with hers, a lot. Tossed it around. She attempted to eat it, but I think they chewing was a bit much for her. Will need to work her up to them, to get her jaw muscles used to it.
Boots played with hers, then finally started chewing. Took her a bit, but she ate one, then ate the other. Once she figured it out, she was good to go. The chewing sound is also horrifying.
I have a few in the freezer I'm going to offer tomorrow. May blend them up to hopefully get Lightbulb to at least try it, and so Paperclip can eat it without worrying about chewing too much.

Oh, I'd like to add that none of my cats are outdoor cats. The two girls were before I got them. Paperclip will go outside, but only while on a harness and leash.

Wanted to update this, for those that are interested!
I've gotten two of my cats to eat mice now. They love them, and I've noticed (even with only occasional feeding, as my production isn't stable enough to completely switch them over yet) a significant increase in energy, especially for my three legged girl, Paperclip. I'm not sure on her age, but I've had her for going on 6 years now (already an adult when I found her). She ate a few 6 day old mice last night, and was running and playing through the apartment! It's pretty rare to see her actually play with the other cats. Loved seeing the boost of energy. Boots, who is around 6 years old, loves her mice as well, and is considerably more energetic after eating them.
My production is finally starting to ramp up. In the last two days, I've had 4 litters born, and around 44 pinkies all together. That's not counting the older litters I have growing up to breed. I have a bunch of pregnant does that should have their litters in the next 1 to 2 weeks. I'm breeding for feeders, as well as pet/show quality mice (I got a bit hooked...). My feeder lines aren't fully established yet, so the cats are getting culls from my pet/show lines at the moment. I find it a bit easier to feed them mice that are about a week old, instead of adults. They don't toss them around as much, and I have to cut open adults to get them eating. Plus it takes quite a bit longer for them to eat adults, than a few week-old babies.
Still no luck getting my other cat, Lightbulb, to touch the mice. Will probably have to cut some pinkies up and mix them with wet food to get him started.
