First Litter

Decided to do some breeding on a small scale. I haven't quite been able to get my mice to produce a litter, but my rat had her 1st today. 10 healthy babies (1 isnt' visible in the pic.) Woot!

Love the little milk filled tummies clearly visible. Decided that Mom deserved a hard boiled egg treat!

Very cool. Not sure how much I'll breed, but it sure is fun. I haven't bread rodents since high school, and that was many moons ago. I'm definitely looking forward to paying more attention to genetics and will try to produce some pet-quality animals to sell on the side to deserving individuals. I know someone near me breeds Rexes... Might have to pick one up. =)

They've had a long day...

do you need to make a little nest for them with the paper like you have? or will my softwood/paper shavings be fine from petco and they'll make their own nest

They make their own nests. It's good to give the mothers assorted material like paper and stuff because they like to feel secure.

Joe i use same bedding and then I give mom some toliet paper normally makes mommas happy getting Tp lol
