Well, last night used a tried and true method of inducing labor........

I cleaned the cages, maybe that will work. Getting tired of waiting for the last two to drop.

On a lighter note, It's now 11 days since litters 2 and 3 dropped and I noticed this morning (as expected) the little buggers are shedding. As of last night only had even started peeling.

...do you feed before a baby's first shed? I fed all of mine today and all of them ate at 4 days. What's your take on this?

last year I fed some litters as early as 2 days after birth. I had heard they would eat right away. I really don't think it matters. I've been waiting for shed this year primarily since I have soooooooo many to deal with and don't have a lot of hopper mice. Trying to let the food grow to match the snake.
