I cant seem to find lab mice anywhere here.

Yes I know what mice are like I used to breed them 15yrs ago.
They'll be fine with their next litters. Ithought the firstone was going to die because she looked so ill before giving birth. As soon as she had had them she was fine tho'.
I got mine from Snakebreeder (Stephen Sharpe) as I live close by.

what do you do with the babies? Do you gas or freeze them, or are they pet mice?

Do mice smell, or is it only the males?

If the mice rear the babies I am gong to try and build a co2 chamber but I won't be euthanising them all I will be selling some as well if I have enough to do so.
I need to build up my mouse freezer though.

If you had so many you probably wouldn't know if they disposed of their litters.
Mice can be very clean in their disposal.
As Jen said it is usually only the first litter simply because they learn by observation. As my young mice weren't kept with older females to learn how to care for the young then they are having to learn by their mistakes.
No doubt they will rear their next litters no problem.
I bred mice many years ago so I'm not exactly new to it.
