I've read many articles about raising mice as pets, and they tell you you must seperate male/female in the grow out tank. Do you do that with feeders too?
Thanks!

No, I don't separate them and sometimes that way I can pick out promising grow outs to replace breeders. Two, if you separate them you have no 'buffer' for all the males trying to kill each other. If the girls are in there too they will have something else to think about.

And, Three, if they're in their long enough you can gather up any babies they may have & distribute them among the ones nursing in your breeding bins.

when they get a few months old i will seperate mine into tanks for breeding and then freeze the rest, no matter what mice males always fight and ends up in death, easy to seperate into breeding tanks as soon as possible.
