THE BIG UNVEILING! I would like to announce I've written up what I know about mouse color genetics and taken the extraordinary step of self-publishing it!  You can find and order your own copy of my book from my storefront at http://www.lulu.com/verminarium.  It may require you to log in as "guest" at that site in order to order.

The RodentFest is coming October 3rd!   In addition to some copies of the book I'll have available at my table, I will be bringing plenty of mice looking for new homes.  They are all males, through a combination of lots of people wanting females for pets and the litters tending to have more boys than girls.  Email me, compassgrl@verminarium.com, with the number(s) of the mice you're interested in and we'll work something out, or we can figure it all out at the 'Fest itself.  Here is what I've been up to here at the Verminarium:  Litter 1, born June 18, 2009 Father, V.
