How do you catch a baby mouse?

However, you can get baby mice from a pet store, or more preferably, a mice breeder and rescue.

How many liters a rat has a year?
Female rats can get pregnant, generally, from 5 weeks old onwards.
If they are left to have back to back litters (get pregnant, give birth, mate with a male within a few hours of birthing), then they will have 1 litter every 19-25 days, so there being 395 days in a year, that gives you as many as 20 litters per year.
As for male rats, it would depend how many females they managed to get pregnant, for example if a male got 5 girls pregnent, you just go 20 x 5 = 100.

NO! The red mucus is a stress thing that rats have but take it to a small animal vet, it is VITAL because the rat could get pnemonia if not treated and they need special antibitoics prescribed by your vet. Especially if you notice him having labored breathing, get him to the vet ASAP. Rats hide illnesses since they are prey animals so when they show symptoms it is very far along and should be treated immediately
