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.
It doesn't mean anything in particular. The mouse is searching for food.
mice eat alot of food as babys how old is your mouse?
Male mice are Teritorial only if 1. there is another male mouse in his cage Or 2. if there is a moter mouse with babys
A female mouse is called a doe. (and a male mouse is called buck) newborns are pinkies
minnie mouse
Is there a difference in the appearance if the male and female mouse?"
Yes it is possible that a mouse could have 1 baby as some babys may die in the mums stomach.
female mouse= doe I not sure if it's true but some people call female mice (minnie)
a mouse
depends. a female mouse, as well as a female rat, go into "heat" once a week every week for 12 hours. and they can go into heat, within 5 hours after labor, and yes they can get pregnant again.
the best mouse to keep for a pet is female fancy mouse
