I don't have any sites, but I do breed feeder mice myself. Its pretty easy really, they do most of it themselves Make sure you feed them a good quality food though. You want healthy, nutritious mice for your snake. You will want a larger tank though. At least a 10 gallon. Also make sure you're not using any pine bedding, as its toxic.

I thought Cedar was worst Matt?

Anyways, cute mice. There really isn't much to it. Like he said - good diet. Good for the mice and snake. I always seperate my male when they are born and th mom does the rest. She will only eat them if they are defected or improper diet.

And a 10gal would be great. Cheaper anyways.

Most places the 'mice food' is the lab blocks. I hate them.

Some places do carry mice/rat mixes, but it's around $6 for 2lbs.

Cedar is the worst. By now most people know not to use it though. The fumes, aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, oils, dust, etc are toxic, even to humans. However, it takes long term exposure for us to be affected, like working in a lumber mill. In an animal as tiny as a mouse though, the effects will show in weeks or even less time, and the mouse will die young due to respiratory ailments.

Pine is, well, a type of pine, just like cedar. It contains all the same harmful materials, just in smaller amounts. Its still enough to kill small animals, but it kills them much more slowly than cedar. You can read more about it all if you like on my website:

Bird food and hamster food?? - this really isn't ideal. I'd look for something appropriate immediately.

Also, I wouldn't keep the male living with the females - the second the girls give birth they'll be pregnant again, this isn't what you want as it will just wear out the females. You need to give them time to recover to make sure they produce healthy babies and are healthy themselves.

the moms wont get worn out if they dont have the babys the hole 3 weeks...

its a mix of the hartz bird and hamster food and also some lab blocks for mice and rats I have been doing this with them for a while and my mice and rats have 10-15 babys at a time
