it is VERY hard to tell the sex of mice when sooo young as there is only a small gap between the males genitals which when they are sooo small is extremly difucult to see.

also if you disturbe the nest then the mum is likely to get stressed and kill her babies, so best to leave them until around 2 weeks old.



i did not mean for my post to sound nasty in any sort of way. my own snake was fed live mice before i had her so i cant be nasty about it.

i was just told that it was illegal, oviously i was rong on that subject and will apologise for that.

i would never want a snake to die due to starvation but i do know of snakes that have been imported from the wild and yet were still encouraged to eat dead mice, so i do find that most snake will eventually eat dead food.

was only giving the advice that i thought, sorry
