So the past 4-5 months I've been breeding mice to become self-sufficient, and althought it is going pretty well, I wouldn't mind asking some questions for people with more experience. In case of concern, I euthanize with a co2 chamber, so I do what I can to be humane to the mice.
1. How can you tell how old your mice are. (The ones I started with that I bought at the pet store)
2. What is the general age in which the mice are at their full growth? I don't want to have them any longer than what I need.
3. Are there some healthy foods that help the mice lay on the growth faster?
4. I've been told hamster feed is just as good for mice, is this true?
5. Is there a good custome made tank top design for mice? I use wood frames that I place aluminum screening over and staple tight. But I'm noticing that the mice have been able to make breaks in the wire, so I need to find a new design before they get wiser.
6. How many females are okay to keep together when they are preparing for birth?
7. If I were to get mites on a lone mouse, is there an at-home method to remove the problem without euthanasia?
Thanks for any advice you may have?
