Hi, I'm new to breeding mice and was wondering when you remove pinkies what is the best way to remove them? Do you use gloves so they don't pick up the scent and kill the rest? Also, I currently house 1 male and 5 females when they have litters do you just leave all of the adults in their with the pinkies or remove the females before they have them? I heard if you remove adults from the group and then return them they might kill the one that is being introduced just wondering if this is true? Finally, I was just wondering about cleaning do you not clean while they have all their babies in there or remove the adults and the babies separate? Sorry for the long post I just want to do things right. I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
