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.
Mouse mothers can have 5 to 10 separate litters of mouse 'pups' a year. The number of pups averages between 10 and 12 pups in each litter, if the mom is healthy and has plenty of good food to eat.
The average litter size for an Arizona Pocket mouse is 3-5 pups.
3-14. Mine only had 3 :-/
They are usually called mouselets, pups, pinkies, or kittens, but baby mice is acceptable.
Baby mice are usually referred to as pinkies or pups. The scientific name for the common mouse is Mus Musculus.
It will, on average, take her 10 to 15 minutes to have them.
The average litter size for a mouse is between 8-10 babies (or "pups"). The record though is 34 pups in one litter. Mice that have been bred for feeding snakes and other reptiles typically give birth to a higher number of pups, averaging between 12-15 pups in one litter.
Very quickly! Mouse pups are eating solid foods after just two weeks and are ready to leave momma after just one month.
I never raised mice myself, but I remember something facinating I learned at a local pet store years ago. I went into their bathroom and I saw a nursing mouse with different sized pups, so I asked the people at the pet store about it. The lady there explained that mice will nurse other mother mouse pups. However, I'm not sure how the people in the store introduced the pups to this mother mouse that weren't her own. I'm not sure what the safe method is for doing this.

A newborn pinkie mouse is best cared for by a momma mouse. Your chances of hand-rearing it are very small. If, however, momma mouse is nowhere to be found and you cannot get a "milker mouse" from a pet shop, a pinkie mouse can be fed kitten replacement milk (or KMR) from a pet shop. It must be fed this every two hours, without fail, or it will die. Chances are, unless you know for a fact momma died, she wasn't far from her litter of pups. It's best to leave a nest of mouse pups alone. Good luck.
4 to 25 pups
