so does anyone have any info that would help me out??? last time i put 10 of the babies in a kritter keeper and the other 8 (my friends and siblings and my favorits) in 4 different tupperwear containers with holes drilled in them..... then we placed all 5 of the cages on top of the mothers cage under the lamp...... but i didn't know about temp gradient so they were all basically the same temp everywhere...... so you guys put your kritter keeper inside the mothers' cage????? but i only have a 20 gal....... any info to make things better than last time is helpful!!!

EDIT: o yeah i forgot.... what about the mom??? anything diff have to be done w/ her??? i've been feeding her 3 mice a week
(well i would be feeding them all 2x a week.... but you said that that was too much.....)
but does her temp have to be raised or her humidity???? ANYTHING??????
