Congrats!! I have never been able to successfully breed mice. I have done rats, gerbils and ASFs with no problems. But I failed (so far) with mice.

What are you keeping them in and what kind of substrate? Can you post a pic of their habitat?

keeping them in a crittertrail, and using pine shavings for substrate, though none in the top of the cage, that is just ripped up cardboard tube she is using around the babies.

yep so far they have all survived, they will be fed off when they get to be about adult size, and my BP is about 26 inches long.

oh great, i have a female rat who is now pregnant... i hope she doesn't do that..

is the trick just making sure they have enough food? i make sure she has plenty but maybe i need to just fill half the cage with food once she pops.

The trick is that if they dont feel ready or comfortable with there cage they will do it.
