My mouse had babies last night :) I was worried at first because the nest was in a carboard box and i couldn't see if there was anything wrong. Ive been getting alot of different advise so i rang my vet and they said about a week or so, but on the interent it says day, weeks, imidiatly. I was unsure so i held the mother mouse and moved the nest with a spoon so i couldn't put my sent on them, i counted 11 :) then out her back, atleast now i know the babies are safe and well.

About a year. Some pet mice can live 1-3 years, but most don't. Most of them die before 2 years. Some even die when they are still pinkies [baby mice]. Its sad, but that's how nature works. hope this helps.
for baby mice it can take up to 6 days or more 15 days at the most. mice babies run about $2.50-7.50 each
check if they eat solid food. I have 14 baby mice at home (3weeks old), they are quite independent ... I can say your mice will be alright.
baby mice can jump up to a inch high
