This is Matts wife and I have a question for anyone with any info on this
I breed mice for Matts ball pyhtons and in the past I have had some trouble keeping the mama mice's cages cleaned that had pinkies in them. It seemed no mater what I did when I cleaned their cages they always seemed to either eat some or all of the babies. Anyways after the first week of not being cleaned they start to smell really bad. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to clean the cages without putting the human smell on the babies I tried everything from a sock on my hand to
rubber gloves. So if anyone has any info or suggestions please let me know thank you.

Cleaning a cage
i have bred mice for a while and have never had a problem with touching the newborns and the momma eating them from the smell. I think thats just a bird thing honestly. When i clean my mommas cage i move the nest around and clean around it. mom doesnt' matter, all of the moms don't mind. How many litters has that momma had? if its the first or second its pretty normal for them to do that because they get so overwhelmed

If you can get them a little box or other container to use as a nest, often they'll do their business on the floor of the cage and not in the nest box. Then you just move the box as needed and don't have to touch the babies at all.
