Hatchlings should be kept in similar conditions as the adults. However, temperatures should not fall below 70F as they can be easily suseptable to the cold damaging their immune system. Feeding should be every other day. Pinkie mice 1-3 days old can be cut in half while frozen and then thaw to room temperature for new hatchlings. Usually, 2-3 will be sufficient for the first 2 weeks. You will then need to increase the number of pinkies per feeding over the next 6-8 weeks. Slightly larger prey items can now be introduced with the first process being repeated..

Wounds inflicted on a male by the female after breeding is not an uncommon occurrence. Males should be separated immediately if this behavior is observed.

There are many different ways of creating nest sites They can be constructed of large plastic drums, wooden boxes, metal troughs, tubes, and just a large pile of compost under a large stump or rock.

The variety of nesting materials are also varied. Some favored materials are coco peat, shredded leaves, peat, coir, and sand/soil mixes have been used with success. One main key is they must be able to maintain a burrow.

Locations of nesting sites vary trying to guess a females prefered nesting site. Some are located under ground just below serface, some are just piles on the ground, while others are proped above ground in tubs.
