Rats don't give birth to mice, rats give birth to rats. A young rat might be the size of a mouse but is still a rat.
Of course if you are talking about how many they could dine on at a time I would think 4 to 6 would make a decent meal for a rat.
When I was young, I occasionally came across a nest of baby mice. I usually saw 3 to 5 in a nest. Other than that, I have no idea how many offspring a rat can have.
Both rats & mice can have 1 to 25 babies in a litter.
You can keep as many as you want only if the cage is big.
Hope that was some help to you.
a lot
6 at a time
There are about 1-18 mice in a mouse litter.
a mouse can have up to 5 to 7 babies in a litter
12+ at first to many+ later
My mouse just had her first throw of mice and i discovered 9 baby mice in the cage, they are as big as your tip of your pinky and you can see their intestines around their stomach. Let me tell you they are so cute.20Normally six to eight at a time.It's usually 8-12. A mouse on Youtube.com had 17!Mice can have as little as one to as many as 15 or so. Usually, though, on average, 6 to 8 pups. Also the litters can become smaller as the mother mouse gets older.10-12
mice have 8-14 siblings in a litter
If that is the mouse's first litter, it will be 5-10 young, if not, it could be anywhere from 8-20
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.
Yes, they can. Mother mice will sometimes eat their young if they think their young don't have much chance a survival (if the young are sick), if they a disturbed and think they are at risk or just because it's the mother's first litter and she gets carried away. Also, if a mouse dies, another mouse may eat it for the sake of cleanliness. Mice don't tend to kill other mice to eat them.
AnswerA mouse can have anywhere between 2-10 babies in the one litter but this is only the average amount. Some litters may only have one baby and others as many as 20 or more! A mother mouse may also kill some (or all) of the babies if she thinks they have little chance of survival especially if it is a large litter.
Pinkys. Pinkies as they are pink, furless and "naked" when born, or litter for alot of tiny baby mice. They can be called pinkies when they are still naked and pink, but the proper term is 'Mouse pups.' Baby mice are never called litters, a litter is a term used for all the babies born at once time, regardless of their size."This adult mouse and that adult mouse are both from snowball's first litter. That newborn pup is from Snowball's second litter.""My mouse had another litter of pinkies last night.""Snowball's pups aren't pinkies anymore, they are getting their fur and I can see their colors now."
No: "Mice" is the plural form of mouse. Possible pronouns for "mouse" are "it", "he", or "she".
a litter/group of mice.
