    STILL nursing.....why ?

    My baby mice are about......hmm.....well, they have to be over 3-4 weeks now and when i lift up the hide i still see them fighting to get under thier mom and nurse.

    Is this normal ?

    I know i was suposed to wean them at 3 weeks but im actually getting out of breeding and i didnt see the sense is making a whole new tank setup for 8 mice im not even planning on keeping.

    I was just curious .

    How long will the nurse if you dont separate them from thier moms usually?

    They will suck on her for as long as she lets them. Eventually she will get tired of them. More than likely, she has stopped producing milk, but they suckle on her for comfort/security. It won't hurt anything, it just makes the mom's nipples raw from their little teefers. Yow!
