3  Mice start to breed at about 50 days year old.(pretty neat eh?)  Average gestation period is about 20 days!  On average, 10-12 little mice in a litter. (so cute.)  Newborns weigh about 1 gram, are hairless, and have closed eyelids and ears.  Pups are weaned at 3 weeks old, the weight is then to 10-12 grams for a mouse.

5  Yes it happens.  People buy mice as companion pets.  They can be playful, loving, and grow used to being handled.  Should never be left un supervised, due to so many predators. (we’ll talk about that later).  Males tend to have a stronger ‘odor’ then females, although mice are very clean animals.

7 FOOD/AREA TO LIVE.  Mice usually live in urban areas and forested areas.  Food take in is 15grams for every 100 g body weight.  Water intake is 15ml for every 100g body weight.

8  Mice are important in the diet of small carnivores.  Predators are usually snakes, lizards, frogs, tarantulas, and sometimes even a cat or dog.  Pet stores carry dead mice, or sometimes called ‘Pinkies’ for the use of getting eaten by pet snakes and other pets.
