i actually have tried breeding mice... multiple times. i honestly think my problem was that my reptiles, and all of my animals, are in my bedroom(getting an apartment soon so then i will have a room just for them )so i had to have the mice in the same room. i think that my ambient temps from all of the heat lamps made the mice too warm to breed. they either didnt breed or ate each other. i walked in once to find my female eating the insides of the male... in only took me about two seconds to deal with her... and so ended my attempts to breed mice. after that i just got a pair of rats from a herp show and two years later they are still doing the job, except lately i havent gotten any litters for about two months... not sure why but thats another issue altogether. i have found another place to get live but it is just really out of the way so im just gonna keep trying to get them to take rats till then. i dont think i will EVER try mice again, they stink twice as much, always bite when i would try to move them and from what i have been told when they do have babies they tend to eat them at the slightest upset. with the rats, i can take the pups out right after they are born to count them and if needed co2 and freeze some. i can put them back and big mommy rat just continues like i never touched them. not to mention, rats are just cuter. the cuteness level makes it nicer to have them around lol.
