First litters are always a bit more lengthy. But after that females gestation period is 3 weeks. And they get impregnated almost right after they give birth. So you'll have a litter every 3 weeks.

remember only 1 male per tank. the amount of females is up to you and your needs. and it could take anywere from 1-3 months before you get your first litter but after thats it should be good.

Just check the older threads here, this topic is covered all the time.

basic rules to successful mouse breeding, one male per tank, set up a colony and leave them alone. Don't remove the male or females, and don't add new females later unless they are raised up from in the colony.

Removing the male and introducing it back later tends to get the male killed.

I'd keep as many as possible in the freezer and give my mate at the petshop the rest. It means I get free stuff if theres ever anything I need.

i was thinking about doing the same thing, could a male and female live together 4 ever or should they just be introduced for breeding, i know their should be more than 1 female but i think its worth a try with just the 1. also could i put the pinkys in the freezer live and just let them freeze to death or should they be killed before they are put in the freezer? i also heard they have to be froze for 30 days b4 you should offer them to a snake, is this true? im sure some of these questions should answer the moderator of this thread's questions, hope you dont mind me using your thread like this. . .

Putting pinkies in the freezer kills them really quickly, (under an hour) but I can't think of any reason to keep them for 30 days before using them. You leave the mice together all the time, they'll produce a new litter at roughly 3 week intervals

I can't imagine anything being able to survive in the freezer for 3 days never mind 30. I'd imagine that after a day or so all 'baddies' will be killed off, if not after a few hours. Just my .02
