when mice can be taken away from their mother...

batdad Aug 27, 2003 01:44 AM

Similar question as below but only mice this time. New to feeder raising, the first litter, two left, have their eyes open and are wandering around container. Can they be separated into a different container to be grown into more breeders or should I wait? They are three weeks old. More litters coming up behind them and I want to keep some of these first litters as breeders because the original mice were all pregnant when I bought them so these will have different blood lines than the later generations to come. Also they are sexually mature at what six weeks? Going to have to watch that

Thanks for any help
Bruce

pull babies at 21 days and they will be just fine

males are "active" at like 8 weeks.. females closer to 12 weeks..

they will "do it".. but nothing will happen from it..
