My sister asked me to look into breeding mice for her... She's got a few clutches of corn snake eggs in the incubator right now, and is going to need a lot of mice. Its become impractical to just buy what they need, they'd be spending about $500 a month on mice.
This is what they'll need each week:
20 adults. 6 fuzzies. 60-80 pinkies
I plan on going over there this week to help her get set up (rodents are more my thing than hers). her hubby can build a rack for them. I just don't have any clue how many breeders we'll need to get started. I figure she'll probably have to still buy some of her feeders for awhile, but this should take the strain off a bit...
