things.

My 41qt tubs are 36x16x6 I am hoping that this size will adequately raise at least 40 mice. I planned on just littering the whole tub with paper towel and toilet paper rolls for some cover. But I still think this will be kind of cramped for them but it is hopefully only a temporary thing because mice only take about 6 weeks to get to almost full size. I think please correct me if I am wrong.

I will only be raising them up to adult size or they will be immediately fed off or frozen for later once they are about 6 weeks. My plan is to hopefully feed off the male pinks to hatchlings and raise the females to adult size for the rest of my snake collection. As I hear males are smellier and they also fight with each other.

Can you determine the sex of pinks or do they have to be more mature?
Do young males still fight with each other?
How old do males have to get before they begin fighting each other?

Thanks Sonya for chiming in on my recent posts.
