    Our my mice too Young?

    I have about 20 mice, all weighing in between 20-32 grams, most of them on the low 20s, 1 males to 4 females each, I got everything down backed from what I know, temp 70-75, water, food, clean substrate, no action, all they seem to do is just sleep, sleep , n more sleep,sometimes thro in the wheel for them to run, all they do is eat, drink, poop n sleep, not much movement

    Ive had all the mice going on 2 months now, not 1 prego

    It could be that they're too young. Also, sometimes the females refuse the male for a little while but eventually give in But, it's weird that they've been together so long and no pinkies.

    Maybe it is that they're too young.

    I've heard that mice reach sexual maturity at around 6 weeks of age. So basically your mice are not too small. I would get another male and see what happens, don't have both males in the same cage though, that could be trouble.
