PLEASE NOTE: This is simply a summary of mouse breeding procedures and should NOT replace careful research prior to beginning a breeding program. We do NOT condone careless breeding.
Think you are ready to breed? Have you done your research? Do you have access to vet care if it is needed? Do you have enough cages to separate the babies if you cannot rehome them before they begin to grow? Do you have new homes lined up already? Are you prepared to take care of orphaned young? These are just a FEW of the things you should consider before breeding. Breeding is not to be taken lightly, the lives and wellfare of the animals is entirely in your hands, and many things can go wrong when breeding animals.
FIRST: WHY are you breeding? Are you breeding feeders? Are you going to start a breeding facility such as a hamstery or a rattery? Are you breeding more pets for yourself (and if so are you prepared to go from 2 to 20)? If you cannot answer this question, then you should NOT breed. Breeding without reason is careless and can cause harm to the animals involved. Please think carefully before beginning.
