I have 3 - 1.4 breeing groups of mice. The groups have been producing good litters for 6 months. How long will one group produce and when should I replace the groups with new blood?

Thanks,
Bill

If they are having back to back litters, with no break, I would start growing up replacements after 10 months of breeding (roughly 12 months of age) or when the litters start getting smaller.

Thanks,

I am in month 7 of power breeding and I am just not seeing the production that they where producing. So I just started a third tank to start bringing up new groups. I fed off the male and I will let the remaining females raise what is left then I will feed them off and start a new group in that tank and so on. I was able to grab a pretty well developed group from the grow out tank so I should be able to keep the flow going without a significant reduction. Thanks for the advice.

Regards,
Bill
