Snake food or otherwise, these little critters are amazing to observe.

It's things like this that keep me breeding them.

Kevin, try pet hobbyist dot com. (The mother site of Kingsnake)

They have a whole forum dedicated to mice only, not as chatty as we are here, And it may be best if you say nothing about snakes, you will be talking with folks who love mice as pets.

Care is super easy, just make sure the food dish stays full, and the water bottle never runs dry.

The mice threads here are full of information as well

this is how i learnd to sex my mice, its REALLY simple and if they are old enough you can just see a males "junk" hanging out the back but they do have the ability to suck it back in unless they are calm.

The easiest way I've found to sex babies about 3 days old plus is to look for nipples. It's a lot less confusing, but most mice you buy are older so...

Wayne, my dad does that for the litter while the moms are out eating. He's incredibly devoted for a male! :O
When I uncover the babies to handle the silver one, he pulls all the bedding back onto them. XD

Kyle - the longer you do this, the more you will notice the strong family values, Let me rephrase, COMMUNITY values, I have seen totally unrelated mice care for each others litters.

I didn't go into details, but the mouse that had bad malnutrition, I found it brained in the tote.

The adults sensed something was wrong, and they "euthanized" the sprout to end it's pain.
