HOUSE MOUSE (Mus domesticus)

A small, scampering creature who build their nests in hidden spots near a source of rood. House mice are quite prolific. The female carries the young for about 21 days before giving birth to a litter of 6 to 11 babies. The young grow rapidly and are able to care for themselves in about 3 weeks. When two months of age, they are ready to reproduce. House mice usually live together in small groups that occupy a common living area.
