I have decided to start breeding mice due to the price and distance i have to go to aquire my feeders. Im keeping my mice on a mixture of pine pellets and a little kiln dried pine for nesting purposes. Im feeding a dog food named Doggie bag from TSC, it has 18% protein and 6% crude fat, im gonna see how it works out. Right now i have a 1.3 group, the male and one of the females arent breeding size yet but are close, and for the other two females i think one of them i bought pregnant and the other might be pregnant. Now for the questions.

1. How many mice would you recommend putting is these style tubs?

2. Do seperate your females from the males/ give them rest in between litters?

3. Do you cull babies to more managable number for the moms to care for?


Any advice is welcome, ive come here to educate myself so i can have a clean healthy feeders for my animals. Im sure ill have more questions down the road, and thanks in advance.
