I have baby mice and I'm wondering when it's OK to separate males and females.

Oops! Our babies are 4 weeks old today! The thing is, some of them haven't been weened yet. Is it safe to move them?

they should be seperated at four weeks of age. they are able to start breeding between then and five weeks.

Depending on Sp. and the amount of food they get. 1 to 1.5 months is about average for the usual pet store type of mouse. Just to make sure I would separate them after the 3rd week. Just to be on the safe side.

A rats sexual maturity is about 5 weeks as soon as they don't need to be breast fed by the mother move them. They can breed almost immeadiatety afterwards....
