do you have a secret?

Best thing you can do...

Start with a healthy robust breeding stock from a proven line.

That simple.

I like to throw in a handful of sunflower seeds. Lots of protein and fat.

another question. do you give your snakes any vitamins? like 1/4 of a 500 mg multivitamins stuffed inside a frozen pinks stomach? thanks

[Beardedragon]

no vits for snakes.

My best advice is Keep mice... I did mice...had GREAT production and size...went to rats... bad experiance...asfs...worse experiance out of them all....and now im back to mice and happy

Really, just leave them alone.

If you want huge mice, let them go. no joke...A HOPPER mouse not even weaned got out once when I dropped him cleaning and now hes freaken twice the size of his siblings somehow when I see him.

Agreed. Mice take alil more patience than rats but all in all no complaints with either of them.

No kidding :p I guess I should also give them cords to chew on... he is already the size of a subadult and hes not even near a month old.

[Racerh]

thats my observation too but i think that giving them unhealthy fatty foods and will be eaten by my snake leo and birds isnt really nice. but ill try anyway since i love experimenting. ill try to feed my mice more cheese, bread, sardines, raw fish and see what happens. how about steroids? would you use one for your mouse?

I feed all my rodents Mzauri 9f. They grow 10 times faster and bigger litters than eating the garbage seed mix or store bought bags.

I just weaned a litter of mice at 3 week olds and they all topped the scale each at 20-25grams, FOR ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD.

my rats grow very fast. I cant wait for them to get to small rat size as by the 3rd or 4th week their already touching 60grams.
