Re: how my mice roll
Yeah well, the sink is right there in the basement and from what Ive heard, automatic watering systems are prone to flooding. I personally know a guy who gave up on watering systems for that very reason. He lost so many rats due to drowning. Besides, this makes it even more likely we will always keep a close eye on them.

Re: how my mice roll
That looks really nice Gary!
I had a first time mother give birth a few days ago to 9 pinkies but unfortunately they were all dead when I found them. I also have a couple of more first timers pregnant. My current pinky count is 37.

Re: how my mice roll
I am too stressed about finding a place to live right now to worry about a few pinkies. Heck a monotheism from now I may have to get rid of them all anyway.

Re: how my mice roll
Monotheism????? A month from now is how it should have read.
Anyway I received a huge surprise today. A female rat gave birth to 10 pinks( plus 2 stillborn ). I also found four pregnant mice in my colony.

Re: how my mice roll
I know, it was quite a surprise actually because she didn't give a pre-lay shed, I had been checking each morning for a pre-lay shed and peeked in yesterday morning and saw EGGS!! crazy.
So, good thing colony #1 is almost full of breeders (3 are too young) and I just have to throw a male in with the starter females from colony 2 now that they are old enough to breed.
I still need adults too. but can use rat hoppers too for a bit, while I collect enough pinkies for if all the eggs hatch out.

That is great! You know what they say, "they breed like mice" This goes a long way to bringing your numbers up for sure.

Re: how my mice roll
So my rat pinks are doing great. Another female rat will give birth in the next five days.
I also found 19 pinkies in my main colony. I segregated them out with the female nursing them and a couple of other pregnant girls. I lost two of those pinkies while still in the main colony.

Re: how my mice roll
I think youll find that rats are much easier to breed than mice.

Re: how my mice roll
Nice! Your numbers are going up for sure. Your male to female ratio on your rats is just right however on your mice, you need more males IMO. I would go with at least 3 more for that number of females.
