Some have had cancer tumors kidney failure and arterial sclorosis induced, other have been injected with some pretty serious drugs. |
I know of at least one company that is no longer in business that dealt with a large testing facility. They bought all the "used" mice and sold them as frozen feeders. It's actually a decent money making scheme, the lab benefits and the guy selling he mice gets to sell a product without ever having to raise a mouse.
I also know of one mouse supplier who doesn't feed his mice dog food, but a pig & swine feed. The reason: It's $5 USD for a 50 pound bag. Believe what you want, I know the facts Dave presentd are genuine.
