These puppies can start breeding once they attain the age of 6 weeks and continue the process of reproducing. This way you will have hundreds of mice in your household by the end of a year and damage in proportion with the population. A colony with hundreds of mice will have more mouths to feed, and in desperation they can go to any extent to avail it. If you take steps to deny entry it will be the best idea.
