Hi everyone,

I have a ball python who I am trying to breed mice for. The mice around here are $2.00 apiece, unless I drive about three hours away to a reptile show and then they're about $0.75. I have two albino female lab mice that I've been told are of a strain that produces large litters. I did have a male of the same but, after not getting any babies, bought a brown and white male at a pet store and fed the male off. I bought the females as medium sized mice in the beginning of March, and haven't gotten even a dead litter. I have tried three different males and I expect at least one of the female should have had babies by now. I fed them lab food at first but now have switched to guinea pig food, because I also raise guinea pigs for the pet trade. Do you all have any ideas why they haven't produced yet? I am considering feeding them off and starting over.



Thanks in advance,

Taylor
