would anybody be interested in baby mice? im suppose to be breeding them for food but just looked at them and now there cleaning themselfs etc.... they look so cute i dont think i can kill them. so would rather sell them on and use the money to buy frozen if that makes sense lol. im just not sure how old they have to be before u can take em away from mum so if anyone knows please let me know

i gather the colony bred then :P

yeah me to well chuffed.

ty can leave at 3 to 4 weeks once the are weaned i breed them its hamsters and rats that leave at 4 to 6

Just to let you know, Mice are fertile from the age of four weeks onwards, so its best to remove all male babies at 4 weeks old, the females can stay in with mum longer, and it will benifit them.

thanks for the help there about 2 and half weeks old now.

Mice....4 weeks
Hamsters........4 weeks

If you leave it any longer you are likely to have unplanned litters with both hamsters and mice. Rats are about the same although I tend to leave my baby rats together until 'almost' 5 weeks old before taking out boys.
Also with Syrian hamsters if you dont' take young out you 'could' in theory end up with dead young as the mother may attack them.

I say 'could' because I have litter still with mother at 6 weeks, only girls, but this not the norm.

Robo, chinese, cmapbells and russian hamsters can be left together providing you don't mind a population explosion!!!!!!
