Depending on the age of your mice and whether they were together in the store etc they could take no time at all or up to 2 months. Gestation is 21 days. I have litters of anywhere from 5 to 20. I would guess an average is 10 or 12

Haven't we warned you about tampering with the structure of a chaotic system?

Tips: 1.4 to 1.6 is the normal ratio.
Make sure there's only 1 male. 2 will either kill eachother or the babies.
Other than that, let nature take it's course.
Sonya's right on the time. (she's an authority here) Depends on the age.
