Best Answer

A female mouse can get pregnant every five days. If you're looking to get your mouse pregnant, leave a male mouse with her for about two weeks, and weigh her. If she has gained a considerable amount of weight, then it means she is pregnant. So basically, mice will breed every five days, usually at night, although sometimes they might do it during the day.

well, as many people say they mate like rabbits - about one week after a litter they will probably mate again, its good if you want baby mice to sell back to pet shops or to friends , but otherwise, get two cages and only put them together when you want babies.

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
