And there are mixed opinions on whether mice supply any real calcium...most mice fed to blueys aren't big by any means and many insist that since the bones are tiny and still developing there is no real calcium to benefit from...


Very true Zach. :)

Please do! I honestly don't know the 100% concrete truth on the subject.....I've read plenty of items that make sense on favoring both sides....

At what size are mouse's bones considered fully developed?

I'm not sure, but I would wager a regular adult size would have fully developed bones....but that's a huge mouse once it's full grown, too big for a bluey. Unless it's some small variety of mouse. But then again, small animal = small bones.
