Re: how my mice roll
' Now I am unsure of what to do. I don't know which mice are nursing mothers and which aren't. If I try segregating the babies how do I know which are the nursing mothers? I have two more pregnant ones for sure and and could place those with the babies but can two mothers take care of 50+ pinks? Should I just leave this pinks in general population and segregate the two pregnant ones in the five gallon tank?

Re: how my mice roll
if your mice are like my African Soft Fur Rats, all you do is wait to see this. then you will know who is the buffet table.

Re: how my mice roll
Lol. Yeah but I have had six females give birth in the last 3 weeks and two more are ready to drop in the next week. So they are all taking a turn but thtat doesn't mean they all have milk.

Re: how my mice roll
the babies don't stay long if they don't get their food.
they move on to another female & try again.
find the ones they stay with & that's the buffet table.

Re: how my mice roll
They are located in my shed. :/ I usually don't have time to sit and watch. I am going to segregate the expecting females into the five gallon and let the pinks into general population as they basically have been the last two days with no ill effects.

Re: how my mice roll
you should be fine doing that.
I guess I'm spoiled with my acrylic & stainless steel rack system I custom built.
don't see how people can do it with wood & black tubs or aquariums & such.
it would drive me crazy.
good luck, hope all your little ones grow to be big feeders.

Re: how my mice roll
Tomorrow after cleaning all the tubs, I will get a chance to count all the new pinkies and put a number to this latest pinkie explosion. Can hardly wait.

Re: how my mice roll
Tomorrow after we clean all the rat and mice tubs I will be able to have more of an idea of how many new pinkies we have. This way I can have a better idea of how big this current pinkie explosion really is.

IMO, I would leave these pinks in the general population this time. You can segregate the moms in future litters when you know who the moms are. Just a suggestion.

Re: how my mice roll
The latest numbers for the rats and mice are as follows...
Rats: 8.34 breeders, 5L 17XL 1 XXL growouts, 3 in the future breeder tub and 136 pinkies to pups for a total of 204 plus 7 pregnancies.
Mice: 10.36 breeders, no growouts since the demand has outstripped our supply and 71 pinkies to hoppers for a total of 117 mice pluse several pregnancies, not sure of that number though.

Re: how my mice roll
So my pinkie count is up to 64. I had two females give birth over the last two days. I have segregated two females in a five gallon within my colonies enclosure. On gave birth today and the other will give birth within 5 days. Fifty -three of the pinkies are in general population.

Re: how my mice roll
Oh and I am also cheating a bit as someone is giving away 10 pinkie mice on the internet. So I am going to just drop them in with the rest of the pinkies.
