Well, this summer I started to raise my own mice with 4 females and 1 male. Ended up moving one of the females out with two other females and a male born of other mothers I hope lol. Things have gone really really well. Kind of too well.
I now have 4 tanks with 1 male and 3 females in each. About a week ago I had 50 born and had to move some older ones to an over flow tank to make room. In the last couple of days, 50 more were dropped. Right now I have 30 less than 24 hour old pinkies in one cage, 20 2-day old pinkies in another, 25 fuzzies in one cage and about 25 in the last. I am not sure the mothers can take care of that many pinkies at one time and I have at least 1 more mother about to pop in the next day or so.
Should I go ahead and freeze some of them, or how many is a max I should expect three mothers to be able to care for at one time?
