whats the temps?

I've noticed that mice will breed more when it's not so hot.

I added kitten chow(the cheap kind)to their regular food and mine became breeding nuts!! No idea if this will help but it is something someone told me and it seemed to help. Good luck! Hope you have some babies soon!

is kitten chow a brand or just any kitten food? dry or wet?

It is too early to expect babies. They usually take some time to "settle" in and begin to breed. Then it takes approx. 4 weeks of gestation before having babies. All that is assuming they were old enough to breed to begin with. So relax, it will happen eventually.

is it OK to hold them(mice not the babies) and what do you do with the babies do you keep them with the mother? and sparate them from the others?

just dry kitten food, any brand. They seem to love it too. No idea if it really worked but I had waited quite some time and as soon as I added it to their diet I had prego mommy's. I still use reg mice chow but add this to the diet while breeding.

I keep the breeding group together at all times, you will find the other mom's and the dad will help out with the babies. I don't hold any of my breeders, my girlfriend will open the tubs from time to time and "pet" them.

I keep my mice families together too...they really do help each other. And I never held mine but my daughters friends would come over and pet the mice because they were afraid if the snakes .
