is Raising feeder mice for you?

Okay, albino momma mouse popped the other day... She didn't look as big as she did last time but... She had an ASTOUNDING 15 babies!
I never see fights either, and because the mice are so used to human presence, interaction, noise (their tank is near the computer stereo) they never eat their babies anymore. I feel like everything that has gone right has.

Better knock on wood Kyle!

Just kidding, glad its going well, and glad you are the one with mice next to your computor rather than myself! (holding nose)

15 babies is great. I have had litters in the area of 15-18 many times- its always hard to tell for sure though because my mice so often have babies together in a big pile. More typical is probably 9-12 though.

I actually have yet to get a complaint from either my parents, family, or friends about the smell. (Believe me, my Aunt would complain BIG time. lol)
I attribute this to my once a week cleaning and the fact that the tank itself must have enough smell after cleaning that the male doesn't feel the need to mark any more.
More win.

Mine don't smell anymore either. I clean once a week also, and have been using the carefresh for them as well. My older males just don't mark like they used to. I love it.

The rats don't have an odor, either, that I can tell.
