I have my first litter of African Soft Fur mice born yesterday. I have heard that they can be touchy about their babies when they are disturbed. Is it safe to clean their cage, or should I wait until the babies are a week or two old? Older than that? The cage does not smell, but I can see it...

I only have one colony of mice. I got a couple of litters by my new brindle stud mouse out of a silver agouti banded and a red eyed fawn. Brindle seems to be a dominate gene and my stud must be hetero for the trait since about half the babies are brindle and half not. I would like to hold back...

There is someone at our local herp club trying to sell something he calls aurora borealis corns. Has anyone heard of such a morph? I did a search and came up with nothing. I'm waiting to see pics of these snakes. Silvia

I bred my first two corns today after several other introductions were not successful. In general, how soon could I expect eggs if this breeding took? Silvia

I have a 2:6 mouse colony and a 1:4 rat colony. Becaue of where I live they have to be in my home. I clean the cages twice a week but they still stink! I've been using paper shreds from my home office shredder as bedding. What all have you used for bedding that has helped the smell? I have...

Where is a good place to buy feeder mice? I have been getting my mice from a local pet store and they are expensive. I only have three corns so far, and they are all different sizes. Silvia

I'm getting my daughter her second corn snake. I want to quarantine the new snake away from the first one. How far away should this be? Other end of the room, a different room, other end of the house, a different house? How long do you usually quarantine a new snake? What do you look...
