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.

Raising pinky questions
Greetings all,
I want to start producing mouse pinkies for a couple breeding projects I'm about to start.
It takes about an hour plus round trip to get pinks from the shop I like.
I have plenty of room and I'd rather raise my own.
Need to feed just shy of a dozen small kings.
Seven are gonna be here in a day or so and probably 3-4 more in a couple weeks.
Would 1 male and 3 females fit the bill (to start with) and would they be able to coexsist?
What might be the optimum caging requirement be?
I'm thinking a "boot shoe" sized tub with maybe 2 water spigots and a food tray or two.
Any advice would be real cool.
Thank you.
Andy

Normal breeding triangle works well: 1 male 2 females, but I think 3 females would be OK too. Breeding happens pretty easily with mice, but it works best if you house the male apart from the females, drop him in for breeding visits and remove him while they give birth.
If they get overcrowded they are prone to eating their young, so I think I'd go for at least 2 cages - you could cycle the male through the females so that you have him breeding one while the other(s) give birth.
