I went to visit my brother (in Forks WA. lol) and when I got home today I found at least 20 babies in the cage. Thanks to all the post's on here I'm to paranoid to go count them they might get eaten if I do :/ but I am excited to see babies. YAY..... Snake food.....
 
Mice, I just counted them (one of the mom's tried to bite me) there are 21 :) One is still pregnant.
 
Congrats!!! Lucky you, lol! Mine have cannibalized 2 litters so far... Glad to hear at least you're off to a good start. =)
 
thanks If you cant get them to stop maybe when I get some of mine full grown we can meet up some where and I can give you some mice that you might have better luck with
 
congrats, well done I have 2 new colonies both with 1 male 2 females early days yet as only been together for a couple of weeks but one looks pregnant.
 
Congrats on the babies! :0)

Just a question...is having 3 corns enough mouths to feed to want to buy a pair of breeding feeder mice? Or would they be having babies quicker then my snakes could eat them...just a question..
 
Food Wonderful Food!!

Sorry, I got that darn song from the "Ice Age" movie, stuck in my head now!

Congrats,

Wayne

I have 6 eating mice. For 3 a 1:2 colony might be a lot but a 1:1 might be good if you know anyone who needs mice selling to them is worth it. I have some one who will be buying form me and I'll be using the money to buy the mouse food and bedding with it so it ends up being free.

Aw, thanks! I appreciate it. =) I might just give up on mice, though, if things don't work out with either of my colonies...

Maize, I'd stick with buying properly-sized f/t for your three for now... Mice easily drop 10 per litter, with a litter every 20-25 days. You'd be overwhelmed and overstocked in no time unless, like Heather said, you have someone to sell the excess to. I started trying to breed mice once my oldest female corn snake, who just dropped 20 eggs, had a few confirmed hook-ups. Didn't start before then, even though I had 8 snakes feeding on mice, counting her.
