Re: breeding mice

Your mice may be pregnant but simply not showing yet. Give it some time and they'll produce for you. Depending on how many snakes you have, you may need to get more mice though. Good luck!

Re: Decided to give it up - No more rats.

Re: Thawing Rats?

Thawing out at room temperature is not recommended as it encourages bacteria growth.

Re: frozen vs live

Re: Snake Feeding

By offering it food everyday for a few days, you are causing it stress. Leave it alone for a week and then try offering it food then. You should also check to make sure the heat is sufficient.

Re: ASF Rats

It won't take too long to breed for good temperament. It helps if you are able to handle the babies (if the moms will allow that). You can also breed for colour too. :) ASF's are fun to work...

Re: rat bath

Re: New snake??

Re: cooliest feeder breeder ever

I think you'll find that MOST feeder breeders are reptile keepers as well. :) It may be how some of them turned to selling feeders in the first place.

Re: frozen vs live
