Care of Mice and Rats

I looked up stuff on Google when my hammie was pregnant. I looked up mother hammies and their pups, how to care for them, when to start taming them and such. You can do the same but just with mice.

It depends on the mouse's head if it can escape or not, if it can get its head through the bars it will get out. Get a Biro and try sticking it through the bars, as the outer plastic of a biro is about the smallest diameter an adult mouse can get through. maby,but not 0.6cm apart To anyone viewing this question, they can because i got them and they got through

There was once a boy that came to me saying that he needed help and so I helped him by answering his question. The question he as was the same you ask. I thought for months and months, and I looked it up millions of times but no one could tell me the answer. So I went to the website GOOGLE (google.com) and I type this in and it came Up with this...

The mouse that needs to be clean is...

I DON'T KNOW!

It is normal for a mouse to have 10-12 babies. My mouse had 10. The most babies a mouse has reportedly had is 17.

yes it can stupid are you dumb or what?

!

my mouse just gave birth ( i just thought she was fat) so i have been searching and the answer is around 2 weeks.

Hope this helps.

She won't feed them or she will eat them

Use a vegetable oil to grease the wheel. Something like olive oil, canola oil, etc will work fine, as it greases the wheel, but will not hurt the rat when it licks it.

yes

As long as they are not purple, or purplish-red or blue. Then they will be fine, if the coloring stays as it grows to an adult. It's not normal then, take it to a vet if that happens.

But if you are getting very concerned about it, just call up the vet and arrange a little appointment.

Well, my rat passed away today at 6 1/2 years old. Most rats dont live that long, it just depends on how well you care for them. Holding them to much can also shorten their lifespan. Hope this helps. If you need more help, you can get me on yahoo IM Punky_19812003 Good luck

No. The average lifespan of a wild rat is a bit less than a year. Assuming a couple begins breeding as soon as they are mature, and continue breeding, the couple would have 54 little rats in one year. If THEIR babies begin breeding as soon as mature, and the grandbaby rats did likewise, there would be a total of 1,808 rats after 1 year- assuming none died during the year.

Fifteen thousand is not a realistic number.

At first, pick the mouse up by the base of or middle of it's tail, not the end as you'll break it. the base is thicker & stronger for it.

Lower the mouse onto your hand & stroke it gently. If it's flighty, hold the tail gently as well.

Firstly, they get bigger and study's show that there tails also get longer.

it means not very often

Well to catch rat man you must do a few things

1) you must leave a wheel of Cheddar Cheese out. You must do this for 1 week to 10 days.

2) you must let your self be seen by rat man for 2-3 nights.

3) once you have established your self as not posing a threat you can go meet rat man.

4) once you have gained his trust you turn on him and trap him in a giant net.

5) after you have trapped him you have to beat him in the head with a hard surface.

6) Ad lib the rest

I really depends on the wildness of the rat. If it's entirely wild, as in you found it outside in a garden or something, then yeah, it's most likely dangerous. Imagine a cornered cougar and put it into the small body of a rat and there ya go. Nasty business, especially without protection while catching it.

However....color doesn't matter when it comes to rats, they can all be very gentle or very nasty, it depends on their personalities. So if you have a new PET rat, that is white and has a bad attitude then...yeah I guess he/she's dangerous. Same can be said for a brown/black/agouti/ etc rat. Color has nada to do with it.

Males. Female rats tend to be more active.

Male rats tend to get lazy as they mature.

You shouldn't touch a rat until about 3 weeks, and that's only really if you have to, but you can play with it occasionally by just petting it. And giving it something to climb in, in the cage.

they are pretty light so they flout they just move there limbs to go in a certain direction

If the buck is the father there is hardly any chance since they are not lust seekers.They mate to pass their genes. I kept pet lab rats for years and the parents ate the babies from their own litters on a regular basis. This action ,if done by the father ,will prompt the female into estrus(heat) again.
