I just went to check on Mama, our albino breeder mouse and on a previous check of her and her litter I had noted she had killed and eaten 4 babies, leaving five (we had fed one pinky off). Well I checked her just now and the other five are now gone.




Both the male and female have constant access to food and water so I don't understand why she would do this. Rah! And one of my male breeders just died and my other pair of breeders isn't producing squat. And on top of that, two females I'm raising up to be breeders won't be ready till mid April. So as of right now I have one pair that eats their young, one thats not producing, one that just lost the male, and two females who are too young.

So arg! I hate mice. I can't wait to get my rats going. Are they any better than this?

And do you think I should feed off Mama and Spotty, the pair that killed and consumed their young?
