Default Mice - How old is tooo Old to breed?

I have a few groups of mice who have never bred, i woudl like to *if i can* breed them before they get too old/die. These are my pet mic e


Anyway, they are probably just over a year old.

Males can breed for as long as you let them, but females need to be bred before about 8 months or so... I start breeding at about 4 months.

For BIG mice, you are best getting in touch with breeders of show line mice. The pale selfs tend to be massive. And then use them to breed size into your mice
