Re: Do you separate pregnant mice?
Thought I'd join in on this thread as I recently bought my first mice colonies.
A little while back i bought 17 ball pythons from BHB Reptiles, they did an awesome job at switching most of the little ones to take f/t prey but not all of them. So after about 3 weeks of stress out of wondering when they all would start to eat I managed to convince my gf that I could breed mice. Woohoo my first step towards getting really serious with my hobby!
Said and done, i went and bought 5 labb cages, 3 for the breeding colonies and 2 for future growouts. I made a post on a Swedish (yes I'm a viking!) reptile site about wanting to purchase mice at breeding size, I instantly got a reply from a woman, she said she had the 3.15 mice i was looking for, and apparently a really good strain. Labb mice of some sort that grow bigger, tumour (spelling?) less and got big litters, according to her they drop litters of 20-30 individuals when on the diet she is using. To me this sounds like alot but I'm new at this so I don't know.
Anyhow I keep them all in 1.5 colonies and I will keep them like this permanently. I've had them for about a week now and from day two I saw the male in each colony chasing the females like a madman (madmice?) around the cages, so hopefully I'll have my first fatties in about 14 days or so. Sounds accurate?
Pictures and updates will be posted once I see a change.
