I'm looking for some live pinkies and was wondering if anyone here knew where they could be purchased, or if they had any online vendors to recommend. I haven't been able to find anything except frozen pinkies at the local pet stores.

Search your area for breeders...Or buy you a male mouse and 3-4 female mice and you will have live pinkies in no time.

You might be able to find a local breeder on Craigslist or look for sellers at a local reptile show. I think most major pet store chains stopped selling them a while back because of bad publicity. Can't really order them online because they don't last long enough to ship after being taken away from their mother (plus shipping bitty babies that you know are going to be cold and hungry for a while is kind of of cruel IMO).

Easiest way to get them is to stick mice together. That also gives you an excuse to pick up a snake or two (or dozen) to ensure you keep your population under control :)

Your best bet is probably to keep a few breeder mice. You really only need a small number though, mice are extremely prolific. I used to keep them, and I had a female have 20 babies in one litter! Having said that though, they're really easy to keep and breed.
