Looks like there are some fast little buggers in there too, nothing but a blur!

Better you than me! :P Just raising up a few litters from pregnant girls I picked up was enough to convince me to breed rats and just pick up mice from my normal guy.

I wish I could find a mouse guy around Central Florida! I hate raising those little buggers. They smell, they jump at least six feet in the air when I'm trying to catch them (at least it seems like it to me), they're harder to breed, etc., etc.

Rats are soooo much easier but I have a few mouse eaters and hate to pay the $2.00/hopper price at the local petstore.

Adam, want to share your secrets on raising them?

Adam,


Is the assumption you feed your snakes mice, not rats?

I would if I had any, I'm kinda just fumbling into some luck here :p ... right now I'm using 20 gallon longs (about to switch to a rack) ... I have groups of 1.6 - 1.8 set up ... I keep a group for about 4-5 months then I dump it and start fresh ... I think the only real secret I have is "nesting material" ... it seems like once I started giving them piles of unprinted newspaper scraps, the production went throught the roof. Other than that, I dunno, they're just figuring it out???? :confuzd:

LMAO ... Oh no no no ... those mice are just for a small group of my hold out 06 hatclings that won't take rats yet ... not even a tiny fraction of what I feed in total every week ... I use lots and lots of rats for sure!!! :D

I know my breeder female rats love that thin paper from old phone books. I just stockpile them and rip into thin strips and the female rats go mad building lovely nests with the stuff (great way to use up old phone books too). I need a darn portable shedder though!

I think they really do well in racks with tubs and a large food area above them. It creates a "dark" spot to hide and nest under. In aquariums etc the extra nesting material helps them feel secure in the "open" environment.

Just observations from when I used to use aquariums and switched to racks. ;)
