My Nacho had 11 (10 survived), though it can be several more or fewer, usually
fewer.  If I remember correctly, they should be weaned by about 4 weeks.  One
warning, though: they are old enough to reproduce shortly after weaning, so
watch them and be prepared to separate males from females once they're eating
on their own.  The younger boys sometimes look like girls, so be careful!   :)
 If there are other ***s in the same cage, like the father, they may help
with the babysitting or they could try to eat the babies.  You have to decide
whether or not to separate them.  
Good luck!

Hi Heather,

My mouse also had quite a number when she had babies a while ago. I think
there were about 10 babies in all.

Good luck with them, they will soon be very cute!

Anywhere from 2 to 12.  4 to 5 is typical.

3 to 4 weeks.  When you see them nibbling hard food on a regular basis, they're
ready.
