Gestation Period for Mice

[hermitman64]

Well, despite my efforts to keep my male mouse and female mouse seperated, they somehow climbed over their seperation wall. It's been about a week, and the female is fat, lumpy, and lazy. I'm thinking she is pregnant. My question is, how long will it be until the babies are born? I've only had baby mice once before, and that was years ago. Thanks.

I could be wrong & it might depend on what kind of mice... but I think it's about 3 weeks.

What ya gonna do with the babies?

[hermitman64]

Thanks. I guess I'll just give them away to my friends, like I did last time. I'm going to keep the originals, though. Last time, I kep two babies and got rid of the adults. My mice are just normal mice. I think the pet store calls them Fancy Mice.

Yep, I believe it's 21 days.
