All mice rats will resort to cannibalism if starving but female should be ok, remove any adults other than mother. Even with hamsters after a birth you must remove the males/non mother females-they will eat them over regular food. Don't touch any babies you don't have too since they are almost blind that's their recognition (smell)

Mice are social animals and can experience loneliness if kept alone. Ideally, they should be housed with at least one other mouse to prevent loneliness and promote their well-being. Interaction with other mice provides mental stimulation and companionship for them.
What do you do if you lose your mouse?
Ok well, you could set up traps, but if its a loved mices id go very much aganst it (since im an animal lover), you can set up non harming traps but you would have to ask around for that. If you look around you might see that the mouse leaves maby some food scraps, or poo, locate that spot and start hunting around for a spot that your mouse would hide in. If you see a mice hole or something i might like to hide in, try and bribe it out, if its tame, (with food) or if you think that wont work i sugest getting a non harming trap for the mouse, the best quick way to get it out if you can put 2 fingers in ther and grab it by the tail only.That should get it out.
What is the main idea of the article eking out a life?
the main idea is rats can be household pets and be equally loved too. A couple adopts a rat found at a park and realize its a pet. They take it home and care for the little guy and start to fall in love with him.
How do you make a mouse have babies?
A serious answer:
It is easier than you might think. If you put a male mouse in the same place as the female mouse for a while, they will know what to do without any help. Nature will take its course and before long, there will be lots of little mice for the mom mouse (and you) to take care of. First, be sure you know what you will do with all the new mice, they grow up fast and they will need good homes. Breeding any animal to bring new life into the world is a real responsibility that you should take very seriously, and having a plan for how they will be cared for when they grow up is very important. Talk to parents first, they will be able to help you know when the time is right for your lady mouse to start a family.
On the lighter side:
You cannot make a mouse have babies but if you treat her right, a bit of cheese, some bacon rind or a piece of chocolate and she'll fall into your trap.
Getting Started
It is essential to set the stage for the romance with your personal presence to catch her eye. One important factor is how you look and act (I am assuming this question has been carefully keyed in by a male mouse with access to an iphone with a touch screen. This implies that you are one of those nerdy white lab mice - great on quantum mechanics and mazes but poor in the savoire fairewith the ladies). First, study successful male mouse romantic models from the movies. Both Mickey Mouse and Mighty Mouse dress the part - you need red shorts (either boxers or jockey style), three fingered gloves and foot-gear without laces. If the idea of running around in your underwear does not appeal to you consider Speedy Gonzales and get the whole white outfit and a hot accent! Above all, unless the lady of your dreams is a goth mouse, avoid any resemblance to Itchy of the "Itchy and Scratchy Show" or the Vladek Spiegelman character in Maus (he tends to be a bit of a jerk in personal relations a well as a misogynist)
Falling off The lighter side...Onto the silly side.
To get things started on the right paw, you may want to try the infamous blind date, set up by her worried family and friends. After hounding her, till the cows consider coming home, she might finally decide to go out with the "gent mouse". For their first date, you may think about a delightful picnic, in a sun dappled wood, near a brook. Nothing like the great outdoors to stir the hearts of little creatures. The menu might include, Ritz crackers, Roquefort cheese, and Red wine. Yummm.. Don't forget dessert either, something light, maybe fruit would be good. Before the day is over make sure they set up another date, and then you might consider starting the interviews for wedding planners. Mickey & Minnie Mouse might have some good suggestions for that slot! Now, if they like each other, then supply plenty of food and drink at the wedding for both families, and sit back and wait! The actual process is fairly quick, once he has made a full commitment to her, she has that ring, telling her that her little, bitty baby mice will be well cared for by her chosen "hunter gatherer" Mr. Mouse.
If the infamous blind date fails..Be ready with tickets! Try sending her on an all expense paid trip to Vegas! Be generous with the spending money too, strip poker can be expensive when you're trying to lose! And remember, don't bother to ask what happened while she was there! What happens in Vegas...

How are mice different than rats?
Rats are larger and normally more aggressive. They live a little longer, and can fend for themselves better. When choosing between a pet mouse or rat, think of what you are looking for. Rats are usually with you longer, but are higher maintenance and are bigger. Rats need larger cages, more food, more water and more care. They may also be more aggressive depending on how they are raised. Mice don't need cages as big, and less food, water and care. Though they only live for about 1-2 years.
The Blend door is attached to the air flow sytem behind your dash. This is a BIG plastic box (BPB) that feeds the vents on your dash. The blend door is a small rectangular plastic piece, attached to the BPB that redirects air flow. Your's has broken in the closed position. Problem is that you can't replace the blend door - it comes as one piece. When you see it, you'll quickly ask yourself why such an important part is made so cheaply. The part is expensive and the labor is more expensive.
Getting the Parts: The best that you can do is call a dealer parts counter; get the part number and ask them to search for a dealer with the part in inventory - you don't care where. Write down several (if there are several) who have it on the shelf. Call them all and get their best price versus paying the list. No dealer wants parts on the shelf and most will either sell at cost or cost + 20%.
Doing the Repairs: If you know a good backyard mechanic, they might be able to do the job - However, check out Queegebo's site where he has a detailed step by step guide including diagrams and images that show every detail of this process. https://www.queegebo.com/content/view/31/27/
Otherwise, you should expect to spend anywhere from $600 and up to have the shop do it. Lot's of labor.
Will a baby mouse bite you if you pick it up?
Sometimes they do it just depends if they feel like being picked up or not.
nobody knows what your question means because it doesn't make sense x
Almost all foods contain rat poop and they dont contain much. The farmers or producers have no way of changing that because rats are everywhere! It is harmless so dont worry!
Yes, just don't trip! For regular exercise, you might want to consider a stair-stepper, which (in some models), is sort of a treadmill that generates a continuous set of steps.
Absolutely -- stair machines are sold in the thousands to gyms and individuals to replicate the activity. Though it won't give you aerobic workouts (for that, you need to do it for about a half hour, which most people wouldn't do), it's a great way to get your system "woken up". Here's a great, short article about a study proving this: http://www.acefitness.org/fitfacts/fitbits_display.aspx?itemid=124
Do you move baby mice from father?
YES!
UNLESS YOU WANT MORE BABIES,BECAUSE THE FATHER WILL MATE WITH THE MOM SOON AFTER!
Well, unless you wrote up any papers stating that you would have some sort of stake in the home, after putting money into it, Im afraid she can kick you out of the house, you were basically doing out of your own free will. Now you can take her to court to regain your money back,if you can show that she deliberately deceived you into spending money to improve her home and that you had the notion from her that you would be together for a while. Get your paperwork, receipts and other material you need to prove a case, including, statements or other people that can attest that what you are saying is true. Other then that your out the cash and next time, pay for food and some of the rent and utilities just as you would in any other housing situation.
How long do rats live in captivity?
It depends on a number of things. The longest a rat has lived in captivity is 7 years 4 months. That's about 2 to 3 times the average life span.
