I was thinking about breeding mice. And I know this subject is beat to death and then some. But as far as mice smelling is it only the males that smell or is it females also. I read somewhere that the males spray all over and stink up the cage.
If I did breed mice then then i would wait till the the females around 4 of them are pregnant and then feed the male off.
Just shootin in the dark.
Thanks,
Damien

Marla's right, although I do think males are stinkier.

Nowhere near as stinky at ALL - I have 4 jumbo adults in a breeding colony (fancy name for laftover feeders isn't it?) and despite the fact that they p00p at a positively MINDBENDING rate they don't smell too bad at all.
And they don't need the noisy squeaky wheels to run in either

Also, it'd be hard to maintain much of a breeding colony if you kept feeding off your males! LOL

Actually it's just the pups for our finickiest of finicky eaters KaliMa - she is so spoiled. But the last litter disappeared on its own

Agreed, rats are not nearly so stinky as mice, and if you handle them with any frequency they're also more pleasant to be around (for cage cleaning, baby retrieval, etc.).

yup rats are less stinky and way smarter - I've heard that you don't run as big a risk of the eating of the young with rats but I don't know much about the whole thing other than if it were me- I'd definately breed rats before I'd EVER breed mice - there is a big smell issue and I have issues with bad smells. haha
