Darn canibal mice

[Pixie]

I don't know if there are any tips or tricks to help fight against this but I'm starting to get pretty tired of my mice eating each other up! In the past couple of weeks I've lost 2 adults this way and today 10 pinkies.

They aren't lacking in food and water, their cages are cleaned regularly (at least once a week). If it's not my females ganging in on a male and eating him up they gang in and start munching another female, different "gang" too. Then one of my pregnant mice gave birth and ate 10 out of 11 babies, or ate parts of her babies.

I tell you it's not easy breeding these buggers when they're eating themselves off! I get pretty pissed cause I end up running to the store to get food for my snakes! Argh!!!

For those who debate on which are humane and inhumane ways to kill off mice, I've given up that debate when I've seen the carnage they do amongst themselves! A hard whack in a pillowcase or hypothermia has to beat being eaten alive!
