Their gestation period is around 20 days.

Gestation is 20 days, then figure in 5 weeks of nursing, then a resting period before being introduced back to the male, then start the cycle back over again. So, you're only getting one litter from a female every 12 weeks or so (3 weeks gestation, 5 weeks nursing, 2 weeks resting, and another 3 weeks gestation - IF she gets pregnant right away)

Re: how often do mice/rates have lilones
we rest ours as well. we introduce the male to the females approx 1-3 weeks after they've weaned their pups. (depending on the size of the litter they had... larger littlers are 2-3 weeks, smaller litters are 1-2 weeks)
in light, Aleesha
You have 1440 minutes a day... how are you going to spend yours?

You don't separate the mothers from the males so that they can rest after the stress of carrying and nursing a litter?

I rest mine as well. Since having two of my own children, I guess I'm a little more compassionate about motherhood and the stress involved carrying and nursing young.

Its not a good idea to seperate mice. They usually fight but rats is a different story.
