Just started breeding my own mice. Got 2 females and 1 male in a HUGE tank. Both females had babies. Will they fight? And like I asked, How long untill the babies reach maturity?

Doubt you need the HUGE tank. I put 1.4 in a ten gallon tank, basically. I use bigger tubs for groups of 1.8. Don't move the groups around. Once you set them up just leave them to do their thing as they will not deal well with adding others etc.
From birth to breeding age.....8 wks, maybe 10.

How often will they produce? And I had the huge tank laying around. It was scratched up bad. So I figured might as well put it to good use. Thanks.

Generally a litter a month for each, 4-8 litters will likely max them out. So raise up a couple daughters to replace them in a few.
