My feeder had some babies....

[Midwest Morphs]

I bought some feeders the other day to feed the snakes. I grabbed one out of the box to give to the snake and she looked a little lumpy so I set her aside. This was monday evening, well yesterday (tuesday) I got home and she already has babies. I have never bred any mouse or rat before so dont know much to do yet. I did have cages set up for ASF i have been looking for so she is in here in a little house thing.

Do I just basically leave them alone for a while?
Do I need to do anything?
I dont even know how many are in there because I dont want to disturb them, how long until they come out and move?

Food, water, and a space to brood. That's all you need.

Leave her alone.

You can move her slightly to count the babies, but for the most part, just let mother nature handle it

Thanks, i guess its a few for the price of one.

How long until they actually look like mice and start moving around

The babies should be ready to wean when they are 3 weeks old. Those 3 weeks are divided approximately equally with about 1 week as pinkies, 1 week as fuzzies, 1 week as hoppers.

This thread is a great reference to see how they grow:
