Too many yet too few!!!
hi,

i am breeding mice for my snakes and was wondering when the babies could be removed?

can they be removed as soon as their eyes are open? or about a week afterwards? or is there a set age they need to be?

thanks
 
Most people will tell you three to four weeks of age. That’s a good guideline. At that age they should be around 15 grams. So if you have forgotten their birthday you can weigh them.

When they are ready to wean, their ears stand up and they start to look more like adults instead of young mice. There is a visual difference if you look close.
 
mine get weaned at 3-4 weeks as long as you know they are eating and drinking on their own then its no problem.
 
Mine never last that long...

Usually when I need hoppers, I leave them with colony until they are the size I need, then cull the whole lot and freeze them.
