    Depends if you remove pinkies or not...

    if you remove pinkies and all is well, expect more in about 4 weeks...
    If you leave pinkies in, it might be anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks..

    very first litter is quite small 4 or 5 small pinkies... usually get between 9 and 14 pinkies.. they slow breeding after 10 months as they get to old...

    Ok, first of all, I hope you know I was joking about sending anyone the mouse-- I'm not shipping a mouse! LOL But it's a mute point as she did get him.

    Yeah, what is it about the water dishes?!! What's the purpose there? Are they fond of mucky water?!

    Um... Well at such critical advice I think I'll be getting one of them gravity-dispensing water bottles. lol
    I didn't know they'd be little Satans with a water bowl... XD

    They seem driven to fill the water bowls with every single thing they can get their mouth on... and then pee in the mess. I learned the hard way. lol And then when you give them clean water they drink and drink like, man, what took you so long?? That last water was nasty!! LOL
