my mouse popped out 12 babies last night killed one and i fed one so i have 10 left

yeah for big litters I cant wait until i can hold some back for breeding i bought a new male that they are not related to so I can breed

Wow! Congrats on the big litter. Yea, I'm hoping to keep back some females to breed too. I was thinking that when I rearrange the animal room, I might go out and get a second breeding group and get them started while I wait for these babies to grow up. That way when they are old enough to breed, I'll have 3 breeding groups up and going. 9 females making babies for me! That should help out a little bit with feeding costs.

When my husband and I move and own our own home though, I'm going all out and getting a huge rack and setting up 16 groups of four females. That will produce enough for my current collection and my ferrets.

The other female dropped her litter yesterday. 6-7 babies. The mothers are keeping the babies in one pile and caring for all of them. Everyone has good milkbands and the moms look healthy. Pics to come later today when I get home from work!
