Hi,

I kept Peromyscus for two years while in Nova Scotia. We kept them in both small (30x30x40cm) cages and large colonies in big cages (100x100x150). They were on woodshavings and were fed the same rodent chow as the rats and mice. They also liked meal worms from time to time.

Breeding wasn't difficult. Too easy really !

good luck !

I know of the USC stock and have been in contact with them. P. maniculatus, P. eremicus, P. crinitus and P. truei are the species, in that order, that I'm most interested in.
