So the other day I was doing my usual rodent feeding/watering routine when I heard some familiar squeaking coming from my breeder tub. I peaked inside and I saw that one of the moms gave birth to a huge litter. I didn't want to disturb them since I saw that it was a fresh birth (babies were pretty bloody still) so I decided to check on them the next day.

I was right about it being a huge litter...24 baby mice! I was shocked. I mean, she didn't look that much bigger than my other breeder female (which had 13 babies today)

So on to my question to those who breed their own rodents - What was your biggest litter and how many babies survived? I ended up losing only 3 of the 24. I'm definitely holding on to some females from this litter for future breeding
