Re: how my mice roll

Yet another pregnant female which mean I have two who will go within the next week or so. I also had another 10 pinkies born today with another female giving birth as we speak.

I do have a problem though. I just found eight pinkies randomly scattered between some of the non pregnant females! The little buggers are sneaking between the bars and stealing babies to nest with! I am either going to put the mothers and pinks in a 5 gallon aquarium or set up another freezer all together. What do you guys think!?

Re: how my mice roll

or you could reinforce the bars they are getting through with some wire mesh and keep them where they are!

Re: how my mice roll

My biggest problem is time. I am working 8:30 am to 11pm all week. I may put them in the 5 gallon set up until I have time to wrap some metal screen I have around it. I want them all In the same enclosure so the stay as a colony. I am going to be setting up the other deep freeze as a grow out colony any way but again I dont have time till Saturday.

Re: how my mice roll

meh, sat will be here faster than ya know it!!

My colony, I have no-one obviously preggers, but have 2 that may be. One mother has one week left before her babies are weaned and the other 2.5 weeks before they are weaned. So it may be a little bit before I have pinkies again!! but that's ok, as I am just starting my mouse colony.

I have 5 preggers rats and 1 who's litter will be weaned in 1 week!!

Re: how my mice roll

Saturday is just too far away to wait to make a decision. I just lost those 14 pinks because the other females stole them from my nursing mothers. I would hate to lose another thirty. I may just stay up tonight after work to work on it.

Re: how my mice roll

Yippee! We have a snowstorm going on as we speak. So I called the school board and I don't need to go in! I can get it done tonight and still get some sleep!

Re: how my mice roll

I want snow... We have only had 1 good storm this year and that was back in October. I am very depressed due to the lack of winter.

Re: how my mice roll

Oh How I wish! I think we have 2" left on the ground in some places and nothing on the ground in others. I love playing in the snow, shoveling and snow blowing. I get lost on what to do outside when it is cold, muddy and windy unless I have snow.
