Once they get fur you can start to handle them. Newborn mice should be moved by cupping your hands together and scooping up all at one time (example for cage changes)
A baby mouse must be at least one week old before a person can handle it. Baby mice are very difficult to take raise.
The best advice for caring for baby mice would be: do not handle the baby mouse until it is as least one week old. Baby mice a very hard to take care of.
10 days old.
I have expierenced mice pregnancy the babies have to be 2 weeks old because the mom will abandoned their babies.They will do this because they smell someone else and they will not recenize there smell.don't try to handle them earlier. you will have a mouse eating mouse.
Once they have hair on them and they are moving around the container that you have them in.
You can touch baby mice when they are a few weeks old. It's not a good idea to touch them before the mother gets acquainted because she may eat them.
You can handle the babies when they are a month old but before that the mother will get upset and possibly eat the baby or leave it to die of starvation.
the earliest is 3 days old but you should wait longer than that if you till they at least start growing hair
I'm dealing with my own.I have already handled them they are still the same.
It depends how old the child is. If 6 and under, Supervision is required. If you are wondering behavior wise, then I would handle the mouse/mice before letting your child handle something this fragile. Overall, Mice rarely bite. So my opinion with mice and children, is depending on the age. So to answer your question, Mice are great pets. Hope It Helped!
Baby mice start to eat solid food when they are about three weeks old.
Females should not be bred for the first time until they are 8 to 12 weeks old.
