This regularly includes scratching. Besides Mus minutoides also Mus musculoides , in German Afrikanische Zwergmaus , and in Dutch Afrikaanse dwergmuis . Breeding is said to work best in groups of about ten animals. All females in the group breed. 15 days the pups are weaned.
Females can have litters every three weeks.
An age 1.5 to 2 years is reached. So such a pairing can work. 18 days later I saw the first young ones. 23 days after the first litter came the second litter - I couldn't see from which of the three females, since they are difficult to distinguish in the subdued light in which I watch them. But within one day this calmed down.
