Not really... the male mouse will probably mate with her shortly after she gives birth and this can put stress on the mother, and could cause her to eat her babies.
Female mice will mostly have from 6-12 babies at a time. Some Female might have more or less than that. There really is no right answer to this.
You should not disturb the mouse at all. Leave her with her babies and let them bond and get used to each other. After three days, you can then look and pick up the baby mice, but remove the mother mouse from her cage, or she'll start moving the babies around.
As long as there is one male mouse and one female mouse in the same cage there will most likely be 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.
You might be able to foster the babies with another nursing mouse, or even a female mouse who isn't nursing--mice are able to lactate when needed, but it might take awhile for that to kick in. You might have to foster the babies yourself. This site will tell you more: http://www.thefunmouse.com/info/orphanedmice.cfm.
A mouse's gestation period is around 20 days.
the female mice should not hurt the babies but may become jelous so i would put them in separate cages to be on the safe side.. but if she is in a cage with two other females how did it get pregnant??
when your female sex cells develope or when u start seeing ur period
Yes we had a pregnant mouse who was in a cage with 7 other female mice, so we put her in her own cage. When she has her babies, she will make a nest for them so make sure there is plenty of bedding. If you do not separate them the baby mice might be at risk, although a pregnant mouse can be kept in the same cage. If her babies are in the cage with other mice, she might nip and bite the mice to protect her babies though
Mice can have babies whenever, not just in the spring. A female mouse ovulates every five days, or rather, can get pregnant every five days. Once a female mouse is pregnant, it will take about twenty-days for the baby mice to be born.
No! Any male mouse or rat will eat any mouse babies. dont let male mice with babies until they can see and have fur!
Mice can have from 3 to 10 babies, called pinkeys, my mouse had 7 babies and the other mom had 6, it depends on the female.
