Heres the deal, Mice Direct sells Pregnant mice for $2.50 a pop. I'll be heading over there sometime next week to pick some up, yet i am not sure how many to buy. I do not want to over load myself with mice, yet i do not want to under buy them. Once my adults are back on track they should be eating 3-5 mice a week, and my lesser will only eat one a week until he is big enough to handle more. Although i do not want to over load myself with mice, i do want to over stock a little because once i have a good colony running i can buy a lot more snakes like i have been planing to do.
I was thinking about buying 10- 15. That way i will have enough to to hold back alot of females unrelated to my male mouse, and still have enough to feed off to my snakes, plus a friend of mine who has balls( She has three snakes as well) What do you guys think? I know that will bring me alot of mice, but how many baby's should i expect from 15? I know i can house and feed as many as they can throw at me![]()
