    Mice are not breeding?

    Set up my colony about a month ago and still no babies. Can anyone give me any tips on this. I have a 1.3 ratio with water and food and Aspen bedding.

    Did you buy adults?

    They could be too old or there could be a sterility issue.

    Buy a new male put him with the females if it doesn't do the trick feed everyone off start from scratch again, it can take time to get started especially with mice.

    I hear that mice stop producing if it gets too cold (don't quote me on that). What temps are the room that you keep them in?
