U8 Eligibility Birth Dates: 17th August – 14th September
If your mouse was born between the above dates, that mouse should be entered as a U8, meaning a pup. If the mouse was born prior to August 17th, the mouse should be entered as an adult. If the mouse is born after September 14th, the mouse is too young to attend the show.
Quarantine Begins: September 12
Quarantine for any FMBA-sponsored event begins 30 days prior to the event. During this time, no attendee may expose their mice to new animals from outside of their own mousery, nor bring their mice elsewhere and then return them to the mousery. Non-mouse animals attending the show (for trades, sales, etc) should also participate in quarantine. For more information about quarantine, check out the full explanation here: https://fmbamice.com/general-care/quarantine/
Entries Open: September 30
Entries Close: October 6
Only FMBA members are eligible to enter mice into the show. Entry forms will be available on our website starting on September 27th, and we will no longer accept entries after October 4th. If you are not a member, you can also join the club at this time. Unpaid invoices, whether for membership or for entries, will result in entries being denied at the show.
Health check will be conducted on the day of the show, at the show hall. All animals entering the show hall must be health checked by FMBA health inspectors before entering the hall. Animals turned away for reason of disease must be sequestered. Sale or trade of animals in the parking lot of the event is not allowed, nor may animals be left in vehicles for the duration of the show.
