My name is Jennifer and I'm new to the forum. I decided to start breeding mice again after almost a one year break. This will be my first time breeding mice in a rack however.

Questions are: What do you use to keep the mice warm? They will be located outside in a shed. Luckily, I live in NE Florida so it doesn't get extremely cold. Thought about using reptile heating lamps or strips. I've tried just heating with a room heater and it doesn't work the best.

Also, what feed do you use? I used Mazuri 16% protein before and also an comparable off-brand. My current options are: FMR Rodent Pellets 25% protein and 6.5% fat or Mazuri Lab Blocks 6F, 9F, or 11F. I'll be feeding approx. 40 breeders plus litters and selling them to reptile owners (I don't own any myself).

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
