It sounds simple but breeding 2 colonies of rodents is alot harder than keeping 20 snakes, I spend FAR more time in my rodent room than my snake room.

I have several adult BPs that only take live adult mice. For me, some just want mice. I have tried all the tricks and nothing works. They are proven breeders and very large on just a few mice per week.....most are pastels. lol.

In my experience with rodent breeding, having 2 colonies would take about 5 minutes of work per week.....but I don't keep setups like most.
