I've heard of over 30, but 23 is about twice the average.

Was there only one female in the enclosure?.... r u sure it's not two litters?

you ought to hold some of the females back for your rodent colony - who knows, she may hold a gene for "hi-yielding" clutches of pink mice.

Yes it was the only mouse in the tank.I pulled it 2 days ago when I seen how large it was.It is a new young breeder and I will probably use half of them for food for my upcoming babies and the others will grow up to replace some of my older breeders.Thanks.John
