Removed the tub!!!!!! You guys are extreme! Looks good though. How many mice do you guys produce?

Yeah, it was one of those 'garden tubs' that come with the new single wides... in the past 5 years I think we've actually used it 3-4 times... used waay too much water and pain in the arse to clean... so out it went... {G} we're just getting going on the mouse production... rats have around 2-3 litters a month and the mice have been slower going... but we made the rubbermaids more ventilated and that seems to have done the trick... now they have a litter a month for the most part. We only have 3 colonies of mice {1.3 each} and 1 rat colony {1.2}.

More in the works though...

Great changes! Have you thought of a gravity fed watering system if you keep expanding??

Christina,

Yes, if we keep expanding... not sure how crazy we want to get as of yet... don't know if there is enough of a market for feeder mice/rats in the area yet...

Have to admit, that is a *major* improvment.

Nope, you're not addicts till you get a loft bed so there's room underneath for more herps.

I'm thinking of opening a loft bed store. ;)
