I have bred rats for 3 years and have it perfect! I produce enough rats to feed my 53 snakes and trade the extras for the next months feed supply.

Now my problem is mice. I cant seem to make them happy. I get decent litters and at about 1-2 weeks old the females kill and eat the babies. I dont handle them. The only thing I do is give fresh water and make sure they have food once a day.

I have been using pine shavings as bedding but think im going to try pellets as a base layer with shredded paper on that.

I'm also going to get a fresh group of mice soon. Is 1.5 to much for a 7 gallon mixing tub or a 20 gallon long tank...is it possible to have a bigger colony?

What advice can you give to maybe improve my luck?

What should my breeding ratio be?
I want to produce about 50 babies a week.
