My fiance and I are trying to put together a mouse breeding schedule for when we start breeding mice for our snakes. We've been trying but it always end up wrong. We will start breeding mice when we reach 5 snakes, which is when we get our next one.

At the moment, we spend about $30 a month on feeders. We want to have a small scale breeding colony of mice but we want to make sure the females have a nice vacation from time to time. Anyone have any input? I know there is a schedule for rats in the sticky above, but I think that rats and mice are a little different in schedules. So if anyone has one on exel or something, please let me know.

Oh and how long does a mouse stay in each stage? Pinky, fuzzy, hopper, weanling, small mouse, adult mouse?
