How long do baby mice need their mom for?????

I got 2 boy mice a while ago and one had babies!?!?! How long do the babies need their mom for?????How long do baby mice need their mom for?????
The mother begins to wean them at 2 weeks and is finished around 4 weeks. 4 weeks is the absolute earliest they can be taken away from her, but it is recommended to keep them together until 5 weeks. They sexes should definitely be separated by 6 weeks, or the males will mate the mother and their sisters.





If you have not done so already, remove the father from the cage as he will mate the mother again, as well as his daughters when they are old enough. Good luck with your mice!How long do baby mice need their mom for?????
untill 5 weeks i belive at 5 weeks they should be seperated males from females (the mother and father should be seperated ASAP) once the males are sexually mature they can be placed with the father. do not sell them or give them away to people untill they are 6 weeks old though
