I can't tell you much about breeding, but I would vary the diet a bit. slowly change it up and make it more like 1 mouse a month, or something. As for the cage, I personally wouldnt do the water and pebbel thing, for fear of redleg, etc. I've seen best results with bed-a-beast and other soil type substrates.

Good luck!
