Mom kills babies for 2nd time

[llovelace]

I just had a new mom who ate off all her young (I should say Lucas339's young), and she'll be fed off asap!

In my mouse colony, I breed for color a little bit because it makes it more fun for me. I had one female whose color that I really liked, but her babies kept getting eaten. The next time she got pregnant, I separated her and she did just fine when by herself. After that one litter, I put her back in a colony, and she's been a good mom ever since. So if this female is special to you, you could give that a try. However, in general, I'd recommend checking that the conditions are good (good food, plenty of security), and trying with a new mouse.

Deb is right that once you get a mouse colony going, they produce well without issues. I had all kinds of trouble with mice at first, but now they do great.

I'm gonna wait to see if the other mom eats her babies if she doesnt the baby killer is going in with my Lesser to get a taste of her own medicine

When I caught one of my females eating her young for the second time, I waited a little while and then fed that wonderful meal to Simon

From now on, if they bite = feed, if they fight = feed, if they cause any trouble or stink = feed. Bad mice = fat snakes They breed so fast, I don't worry about their numbers anymore.

Funny thing is, all my mice are really good now
