the reason your mouse isn't breeding with its own mother is because it is not weaning itself...once you remove it and place it back, it is totally weaned and taking its place in the social order. While it views its mother as mom....it will be focused on potential food, not breeding.
Ah...that makes sense. Thanks.

and btw, mice are much harder to breed than rats...
they eat their young much quicker and will turn on cage mates and kill them on a whim....
I don't breed mice....
real pain in the butt is my personal opinion...
I try pushing people to buy rats whenever possible....
I can change diets on rats and get weanling sizes down below adult mouse size....
I push shop owners to try to push rats whenever possible....
