Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yes they are bigger than mice, but very much smaller that rats. I think as far as babies they are equivalent to mice. One big plus is they won't outgrow a good size meal for a ball python. Plus within a couple of weeks after weaning they are almost comparable to an adult mouse. Adult males reach 75 grams. I think (from what I have read they have a gestation average of 23 days and weaning average of 3-3 1/2 weeks.

Interesting. Thanks for the replies. I assume they don't smell as much as mice? How do you handle them. Gloves - forceps? Size wise do you you rat set-ups or mice?

I believe the reason they don't smell as much is the fact that you have to keep them in smaller groups for succesful breeding. Most breeders keep only 1.2 together for breeding. Plus the fact they need more room per animal. Here is a link to a caresheet. I just use the built in handle for moving them.  Right now I have them in the smaller concrete mixing tubs that I used for larger rats. I will be doing an experiment with a freedom breeder rack this weekend and will post pics.

Bill,
Regrettably my account status doesn't allow me to give you feedback. I also hoped we would have had more time to visit. Some other time!

But they really like to gnaw! One the way back one had made a hole in the tupperware. Glass tanks or concrete as Bill suggested are highly recommended!

Turns out that my friend breeds the little buggers!! He never knew I was interested in them because it never came up in conversation before. He's going to be giving me a 1.3 group next week. Talk about lucky. LOL
