Re: how my mice roll
Very nice Gary!
My cannibalism problem escalated til I lost 3 more pinkies and 4 hoppers and one adult mouse. I actually culled out the two eunuchs I found and haven't had any problems for about five days. I also noticed that all the pinkies I lost were out of my first litter as I only have 3 or 4 fuzzies approaching the hopper stage. I also found 2 more pregnant females. One will give birth within five days ant the other about a week and a half.

Re: how my mice roll
Any ideas on why my male looks so greasy? His fur is very greasy looking and I can pick him out just by looking in the enclosure. He looks that different from the others.

Before I say anything else I want to say that Jenns advice to cull was an excellent one.
Yeah I would separate those females soon so you dont have a repeat scenario.

I would guess the greasy looking one is a long hair.

Re: how my mice roll
I have no market for pinkies, fuzzies or hoppers. I brought in 100 of each 2 months back and I have all the pinkies and 70 of both hoppers and fuzzies. I am getting another setup going for the hoppers. As I said I am pretty sure it was the eunuchs but if it happens again I have enough young ones to start my colony over and in spades.
The male is just a plain white lab mouse definitely not a long hair. He is about 5 months old.

Re: how my mice roll
Also I do segregate all of my pregnant females. The one that will give north this week is already segregated.

Re: how my mice roll
Its a good thing most of our mouse customers want adults because we would not be able to keep up if they wanted anything preweaned considering the current level of demand for adults. We have an adult source to supplement our breeding and well lets put it this way... Weve been out of adults for a couple of weeks now anyway, in spite of that source. By next week, we should be able to wean some hoppers and put them in the growout tubs and hopefully within a week or two, we'll be able to supply that mouse source with the jumbo rats he needs.

I had no doubts that you do because you said early on in this thread that that is what you do and its a good thing that one female is already separated. I think youre doing great with your mice and I see your numbers going up as well.

Umm I hope you didn't think I was being rude or snarky. I just was pointing out that I did segregate my pregnant and nursing females. Currently I have two females with 20+ pinks and the pregnant one segregated. I will segregate the second pregnant one when she is closer to giving birth.

No I didnt think that. It was a general statement of support for the way you do it.  The only reason we dont do that with our mice like we do our rats is space issues and thats why we keep our breeding groups of mice as separate colonies insted of one big colony like our rats. Youve seen the pictures. Our rodents fill that room in our basement. No room for more racks or lab cages.
