Well i have to thank everyone who has helped me along the way. I now have a pretty efficient rat and mouse breeding colony. Both are doing great with great success. With that i decided to share some pictures with you all and I hope you enjoy them

Side note the ice colony was alittle rocky at first.. they like their privacy and show that by eating their babies when i would peek to much. So, now that I leave them alone they reward me by nursing instead of eating their young

well i hope you all like the pics. I can just go from bin to bin looking at them... all of it is still a work in progress...


This is my rat rack.. I added another level. Each bin has 3 females and I have the males on a cycle.



Here is my mouse rack.. the bin under neath is the birthing bin.. All prego moms .. the top blue bins have males in them and I place the females in them to get pregnant... you can see some moms in there now with their babies.



THis is a pic of some of my weaned baby rats.. Most of them are camera shy.. and I couldnt fit them all in..




This pic is of some moma mice with their babies...





And finally some weaned baby mice
