Default Searching for Lab Mice

I am searching for lab mice for breeding for food. I do have multis but find the pinkies a tad big for smaller snakes. I live in ireland but will be over to the UK, Bristol in August.

Would anyone know anyone who breeds / sells them?

Lots of pet shops have white mice. They're pretty well priced as well.

They are just white fancy mice and won't have the litter sizes that labs will.
I'm sure someone will know where to source them.
I know someone who sometimes has them available but we're in the North East so too far.

To be honest I would nearly travel. I am trying to get a decent colony for myself and a friend, so he can pay for some of the diesal

We are a long way from Bristol though.
I'll ask around on the rodent forums and see if there is anyone nearer to Bristol for you.

Would you kill the rats first? I was under the impression that feeding live vertebrates as food items was illegal.
