So I have no problem breeding rats but I seem to always fail breeding mice and maybe its because I just try to throw something together and half ass it. So I'm planning before I start this time.
First - I have extra mortar tubs from home depot are those too big for mice or could I build a rack using those? If so would I need to add a step or something in there for small and weaner mice? Also what could I run in it? 1.8?
Second- would small litter tubs work or do I need to use something bigger? If small works what could I run in it? 1.4?
Third- the native earth 4018 works for food correct?
Lastly do you keep the groups together and then just pull weaner as they come? And if you have a male or female die off can you replace with another or no?
