How many babies do the little white mice have at a time?

How many babies do they have, how old before you can give them away or sale them? Do they eat regular mouse food or do they nurse on the mother? Help please. I wanna get a female and male mouse and breed them because I know many people with pet snakes that'll buy them, sounds cruel I know but it's nature, I WILL NOT SALE MY FEMALE AND MALE AS FOOD, THEY'LL BE MY BABIES.

I know it sounds like a good idea, but no joke...DO NOT DO IT!!!

I have known so many people who have tried the exact same thing, they ended up falling in love with the little ones as well as the breeders, and couldn't give them up as food...
Also, if you breed your male and female, they will get more aggressive, and not make the best pets, it's just the way it goes...

but if you INSIST!!!...
They can have up to 20 pups at a time...
The pups shouls be weaned at 4 weeks, which is when you can separate them ( if you are selling them as food why would you care?? )
They become sexually mature at 6 - 8 weeks, so they have to be separated by then...

Here's a site with all this and more...

Please, get one pet mouse...(or 2 females because they like cage mates...only one male..they don't do so well with others...)
Keep them for a while and see if you want to change the way they act towards you...breeding will do that...
Also, go watch someone feed their snake a live mouse and see if you really want to do that to your pet's babies....

Think about it!!!!

Hope this helps...GOOD LUCK!!!

i think they have like, 12 babies at a time! as for the age you can give them away at, its anywhere between 4 and 6 weeks for all rodents. different people tell you different times.... i think they just drink their mother's milk, but give them some wet food too, just in case

female mice nurse, expect 4 to 11or 12 babies, you need to take momma mouse out of the cage and she will need at least a 20 gallon long aquarium, she WILL eat the babies if there isn't enough food and space, also give her a cuttlefish bone for extra calcium. mice ween at 4 weeks old or so, when you see them eating on their own it's OK to split them up from mom. the male will kill the babies if you do not separate them

why dont you just let the petstore sell the feeder mice, and you just stick with keeping them as pets. And its not a good idea to breed animals when you have no idea how to do it or care for the babies

just google breeding mice and you should find plenty of good info

around 12 to 36 at a time then in acouple weeks theyll have more
