this is my first attempt at breeding!!i bought a male mouse and a female. i already had a female albino that came pregnant from the store i buy feeders from.she had her babies about 3-4 weeks ago, did very well and i want to breed now.i put the three mice together in a 10gl aquarium.they took a while to get familiar with each other.the male tried doing his business right away.i'm not sure if he was very successful,though.he was met with some resistance. and other times not.
some questions:
i put the trio together already, is this too soon?
how long should i keep the breeding threesome together?
i've read the males should be removed when the females show signs of pregnancy.is this right?
also my albino is an xlg adult, she is almost three times the size of the male. he's definitely not afraid of her, but will this affect his chances at mating with her becuz of the size difference?the two new mice are fancy mice(male: black and white,female: calico colored)will this also make a difference?
sorry so many questions but i find alot of vague info, any help is appreciated!:)
