Well the numbers 2.5 etc are like snakes...the first number represents males and the second number represents females.

On my larger containers I run 1.6 on mice and on my smaller containers I have 1.4.

I NEVER separate the colony. All the nursing females will help nurse all the babies.

I do keep my mouse colonies for a year before starting new ones. Of course I am always starting new ones every month.

There are a lot of misnomers about rodent breeding, from bedding to diet, etc..
