Might start breeding mice

[satomi325]

Umm, do you know this from experience or did you like read it somewhere? I'm 95% sure that if the male doesn't do the do right after she gives birth, they'll just do it the next ovulation(in about 5 days). I say this because I've had females give birth within 2-3 days for one litter, then like 6-8 days the next. So one didn't get pregnant after she gave birth, but a little later.

I breed rodents at home and work in a research laboratory. At work, the lab has their own breeding colonies. So it's pretty much scientifically known.

Are you sure its a single female giving birth over a span of 2-8 days?
There is no "next ovulation" once the mom is nursing the pups and the heat after birth passes. The next one should take place once the pups are weaning or weaned.


To the OP: for 3 mice a week, you probably just want one litter a month give or take.
