I have a 1.4 colony of mice in a sterilite container i have raised these up since the were just weanlings and not i believe the females are pregant they got the slight bulge to them that the have for a while before the get huge.

my question is tmep related i had them in my basement but i checked the temps today and the was like 65 degrees it seemd cold so i put them outside in my garage which was like 75 at the time but is not 80 at mid day. where should i put them in the basement that is gonna stay around 65 or in the garage that is gonna get above 80 in a few weeks.

keep them in the basement. Ideal temp is about 70 so 65 wont hurt them but 80 and over is redline.

Keep them in the basement, but make sure they get a proper photo period. It will screw up the breeding if you don't for too long. A lamp on a timer works great for this.
