size of litters

[joepythons]

HI everyone i thought just for fun i would see what is the largest litter size your rodents have ever had.I have several rats that seem to have between 14 to 17 babies each litter.Now the mice are only 7 to 10 babies.Looking forward to see if any one else has these results also.

I have had mice litters that range from 5 to 16. However, my females generally have between 9-12 per litter.

Largest litter of mice for me so far: 9.

Somewhere around 16-18. Normal is 10-12.

There's only been one litter of rats, so far, and Peekaboo had 11 right off to start. Yaaaaaaay! More snakey food.

4 years ago when i was breeding mice in my home for an owl sanctuary... i had a female pop out 21 pups!!!

thank goodness she had a friend to assist her... that's alot of babies for one mama!

my first rat litter was about 14. there might be one or two more in there but they were just born so i haven't disturbed them too much.

So far I had a mouse give me 16 babies for her first litter and she should have more babies in about a week and i bet there will be around 20.
