Breeding Mice
OK, I have my 1.3 mouse breeding colony going, and within the last 10 days, all three females have given birth. The first on the 5th, the second on the 10th and the third today. I was doing some reading online, and there was a thing from Stanford University that said I should not keep different litters in the same cage. I am a bit suspect of this information. Does anyone in this forum know why I should NOT keep the different litters together? Also, how long do mice live? How long should I expect my females to produce? Should I start culling out replacements for future colonies? Any info would be appreciated.
