Are snub nosed mice real? I can't find any photos or discussion.

Yep! You won't find many pics of them because most breeders cull them, since it's considered a defect. I've only seen a handful in my entire breeding career spanning across 20 years off and on, and never in my own lines thankfully. Sometimes people keep them as pets, since they think it's cute and it doesn't (as far as we know) cause pain, but it's not acceptable for show purposes, likely because of the related bone density health issues and because no one breeding mice wants brachycephalic mice (or rats for that matter). Health is a priority in show breeding for mice and rats, at least in all the major show clubs I know of.

Here's a couple snub noses I've seen around over the years.

And a normal snout for comparison

And it's an actual gene, not just a mouse that has a shorter face (which is still not bred for since short faces are against standard), so it's something that's on or off, and can be nuked from a line of you cull the carriers.

Just a few Hereford pups.

I've been breeding Hereford mice since 2016

Developed from scratch / zero *( selectivly bred from mixed pied animals of feeder origin). as there were previously no established lines in Australia

If you are dedicated to your causes and know what to look for you can achieve almost anything ✨️

My mice and bugs are the only things in my life to bring happiness to my cold, dead heart.

I wish I had more space. I wish I had a whole building that I could dedicate just to housing and breeding them.

Someone with a ton of money pls take interest in me to fund my tiny livestock addiction… pls…
