he may kill and eat the babies... May..
the males will eat and kill the babies
no. the mother mouse would only kill its baby if it was dead or sick! if the others are healthy she will not kill them.
I am sure it can happen, probably more so if a mother mouse has babies to protect. However, a rat is a mouse's predator, so to speak, so in most cases, a rat would probably kill a mouse instead.
It is normal for a mouse to have 10-12 babies. My mouse had 10. The most babies a mouse has reportedly had is 17.
Sure, but don't be surprised if they breed and you end up with babies.By the way if they do have babies DONT touch them(the babies and the mum) until the babies have fur otherwise you can kill the babies.
no they will fight, and some babies may die.
Rats might abandon their babies if they can't take care of them or if they are too stressed. My rat had babies and it kept abandoning one of them. We tried to feed it, but then decided to take it to the pet store. They put it with a mother mouse and it started licking it. A few days later we visited the pet store again and they said it died. If your rat abandons its babies, feed them with soy milk.
No, you do not need to be worried about the mother killing the babies. A mother might kill her babies if she had just recently had them, but three days or so after she gave birth, there is no need to worry. At that time, you can now hold them.
a mouse can have up to 5 to 7 babies in a litter

No! Any male mouse or rat will eat any mouse babies. dont let male mice with babies until they can see and have fur!
