I'm not sure people on here subscribe to that. I don't. My oldest female just had her 4th litter. I'm thinking of retiring her but haven't decided yet.
For a first litter, they may have not been ready yet.
I also don't agree with only 3 litters, but this did come from a mouse lovers site.
Because all of my mice are snake food, they breed till they don't breed anymore, and if a female goes for 2 months without a litter, she is dinner.
