It may be easy but right im trying to get a roach colony going then maybe get to breed some mice feeders!
The only thing I cant stand is the smell!!!! I tryed breeding them before and the smell was horrbile! I used aspen and a lot of it and it still smelled! I have the mice/rat food I can get a hold of easily and the water thingys. Do you need heat pads for them or are they fine without?
Sorry for hijacking

no problem

they are actually out in my "shop"
its just a thing we call it that we store stuff in behind my house

it has no heat or cool in it, and they dont need heat pads

in the day time i open up two windows and have a fan blowing out one

Oh ok well that makes my life a alot easyer! Looks like it will be easyer just a little more cleaning. Looks like im going to be buying around 15 tubs lol

cool, good luck

Thanks!
What do you use for substrate? Im thinking aspen.

lol
pine pellets, someone on here told me about them and they work great, they TOTALLY absorb the pee and all you see is poop and no moisture from pee

Hmm ill look into that thanks again!

no problem

anyone else?

Very nice. I am expecting mine anywhere from now till tomarrow

Yes, that happend with me- she was seperated from the males for two days and POP- 12 babaies! then two days later, my other female popped out 13 more! And I didnt even think/know the second girl was preggos!

i wish my other girl was pregnant
but she is still looking normal with the male

Congrats ATP, my first mouse litter had me super hyped when they came out:) I wish i had had some rat litters but oh well:rolleyes:

Thanks bd!
I cant get attached!, im not yet

is it hard feeding em off?


They wouldnt be here without bp.net!!!!!
