| Introducing my Multimammate mice... I have 21 ; 16 females and 5 males to split into four colonies when a little bigger to hopefully breed me some feeders (harsh as that sounds!) Each colony of 5 will be living in a 64l rub with two levels, wheel and toys so I feel a lot better than buying them frozen. You never know the conditions they have been kept in and some are really shocking! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]they sll decided to sleep in this corner ;ast night! But were all tucked away in the nest box this morning.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]nomming away... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| I have heard they do and apparently have large litters. Where I got them, the adults were having litters of 10 - 20 every month or so and still looked healthy and bright | |

| weeeelll, these will be breeders not feeders, but the offspring... a few at pinky age for hogs, a few at fuzz age for my one snake on fuzzies, most will prob be about 8 weeks old for the majority and a few at adult size for my biggest snakes. These are a fair bit bigger than mice | |

| They're very pretty. I like the way you are providing them with a nice life before they get eaten.... More humane too.
It's a pity we can't always enure the same happens for the food we eat!
