When given fresh water and food daily they do awesome.


Their also kept at 82f As well and breed like crazy.

I do once a month or so sell my extra off to slim it out as it does get crowed. Doing this setup, i havent ordered mice or bought any in 3 years.

Also Those are mice not rats

I thought any higher than 80F was too high for mice?

I will have to try breeding mice again. I just couldn't do it. Do you keep yours on a STRICT day and night cycle?

Had a derp moment when I posted that. xD This is in the rats area so I thought they were rats without looking real hard.

Mice breed when kept in consistent temps. My temps stay 80-82 all year in room and they do fine.

Most try to keep a 75 and they do just as good. Consistency in temps is the key when breeding any rodents.
