They are ready for their own home

My 2nd litter will be 3 weeks old Friday, they are eating and drinking on their own and weigh an average of 14gr, although my 1st litter is weighing in at only 11 grams, they will be 3 weeks old 2morrow, I will leave them with mommies for at least another week even though I've seen them eating & drinking, mommies don't look to be dropping any litters soon.


I am going to be using a divided 20g long for my first grow out enclosure. When they get older and more babies are weaned I have a 30g long that I will put a divider in. I've taken Mike C's lead and will use my mini shop vac for cleaning these.

Here is a pic of 20g long

WARNING!!!!! You MUST put the shop vac outside while in use!!!!! Or, put a hose on the exhaust end that reaches to a window or outside. Use of it inside will create a cloud of funk that STINKS!!!
