Grasshopper mice
Are these commonly avaliable in the pet trade? Apparantly my friend can get hold of some but I can't find anything on husbandry.
 I know they're aggressive rodents and are carnivorous (eatings locust, crickets, earthworms, scorpions) but will also eat hamster/gerbil seed mixes.

I phoned him up (America, so will cost a fortune...) and he hasn't got any yet because he isn't sure on the import laws for these. He usually gets what he wants though, but he didn't go over especially for these guys.

They would need the normal 6 months of quarentine...

Just a thought but TSKA exotics may be able to help you source some out.

Blimey! I had assumed they were already here... Well good luck to him, hope it all goes well and he is able to sort out all the paperwork and so on.

Yeah there will be a quarantine period no doubt.
If he does get them over and none of them die from the stress a breeding program will be set up. I really don't know what his plans are but I'll have my own place in six months and I'll buy a pair from him and attempt breeding.
