I was interested in finding this out because a pair that is at the petstore I buy from keeps getting pregnant. They are EXCELLENT parents and produce awesome babies, but the dad just keeps getting the mom pregnant. Anyway, I used a calculator to try to figure out how many babies she could have in a lifetime...
She has about 12 babies per litter. The gestation period is approx 20 days. I used an average of 4 years for her lifetime.
365/20= 18 times per year possible to get pregnant
18x4= 72 times possible to get pregnant in her lifetime
72x12 (per litter)= 864 babies in her lifetime (about 216 babies per year if you want to change the number of years variable)
216 babies in 1 year
432 babies in 2 years
648 babies in 3 years
864 babies in 4 years
1080 babies in 5 years
Might not be the most accurate because that is if the female is immediately pregnant again right after having a litter, so those are like the maximum potentials, but still interesting to see. That's a LOT of babies!
