okay well i have a 18 gallon rubbermaid tub that i have 5 females and 2 males in....one of the males isnt sexually mature, and the other is. Well they havnt been breeding lately, (yeah i know, ill take the non mature male out soon) but like...i have pine bedding, a water dish, and i feed them calcium enriched bread, rice, peanuts, zesta crackers,beef jerky pieces, and dog food. i have a cardboard tube in there, along with 3 hide boxes. (i just recently introduced 2 more females, one pregnant one not, and they all accepted them except this one other pregnant female, who is always bitter.) Is this all ok....is there any way to help them breed, anything i should change? thankss

Take out the spare male....he may be delaying your breeding. Don't do the beef jerky....give them cooked meat that isn't too seasoned. Jerky is full of preservatives, dyes and salt. Go purer.
Get a water bottle a dish will turn into a cesspool all the time and just keep you changeing the cage constantly.
