It's recommended that a female mouse should be given a 3 month break between each breeding. It allows them to rest & recover, regaining any weight lost & makes sure they don't become ill.

Your mouse is about 5 to 7 days away from having her first litter after she has the litter when will it be safe for you to add more mice?
It is not a good idea to add more mice into the cage, especially adult mice that she does not know! But adding additional newborn mice is a common practice. The sooner, the better, and put the new additions behind her back, so she will think that she delivered them! Do not add any more baby mice when her original litter has started growing "peach fuzz." At the peach fuzz phase, the babies will start to have their own distinct odor, and the mother will instantly recognize which babies are hers, and which aren't. If she smells babies that aren't hers, she will eat them.
