Mice Questions

Question:
 I recently got 3 female mice and absolutely fell in love, ending up with buying 4 more, 3 females and one male. I know babies will come of it, but I'd like to know the colors, or even what color each female and male would be considered! I have one albino female, one that's white and black, another that's a golden orangish and white, another that's nearly completely golden orange except for a white streak on her nose and stomach, another that's a dark silky brown, and a grey one, and the male's black with white on his paws and stomach. Another problem is with the brown one, named Cio. She was one of the original three I got, and the other two get along great with their new friends, but Cio will lash out and chase the others, especially Leche, the albino, and CKM, the one that's golden orange and white. Should I get Cio her own cage? I have two cages for my mice that are connected by tubes, and when I block her off from the others, she seems happy at first, then lonely. Yet another problem is that for Thanksgiving this year we're going to be gone for 4 days on vacation for a family gathering. I don't really want to leave my mice alone, but I don't know how to transport them safely and with as little stress to them as possible. I'm only 14, and my mom says we leave them at home unless I come up with a good transportation mode. Please help!
Answer:
 if I understand your post right, that means you've got 6 females and one male, yes? Ge thim out of there! I know baby mice are adorable (have bred a few myself!), but you're talking about a LOT of babies. One mouse can have up to 12 babies, sometimes more - which means you could be looking at up to 72 babies. That's a lot of good homes to find, and it isn't easy - especially for the boys as they smell. and how old are the girls, btw? no female mouse should _ever_ be bred before she is at least 3 months old, as it can affect her growth. She's still a baby herself before this age, not ready for kids of her own. As for colours, your guess is as good as mine. Pet store mice are usualyl so randomly bred that they have genes for all sorts - I once had a litter of 9 with blacks, black tans, albinos and cinnamons - the mother was a coffee and white, the father a black tan. But seriously, I'd take the male out - it's a lot of work raising that many litters, and you can't leave them - even for four days - if there are babies. If he's still young (under three months) then get him a friend - if not he'll be okay by himself. But trying to home them can be difficult; when I finished breeding this time last year (for a college study), I'd bred 12 litters, I had something like 15 adults (9 female, 6 male) and around 70 babies, give or take - I rehomed 15 females and 3 males, despite advertising everywhere for a very long time. I've given up now (the babies are a yeard old) - I'm left with 17 females and 40 males, even after quite a few have died from old age. It's a lot of work, and id you really, really want the babies at least just have the one litter - not 6, or even 3 (if I misunderstood you post).
Answer:
 I do have a deal with my local pet shop (that seperates pet mice from feeder mice, and know that I want mine to be sold as pets) to give them the babies, and I really only want two or so litters. I have already considered it and I have a spare cage ready for after the babies are concieved. ;D Their 'play area' already consists of two cages connected by a spiraling tube, with food and water in both sections, and I can cut off access to the upper, smaller cage to block them in or out. Another question has arisen recently though; why do my females hop around a lot? They sometimes will start 'hopping', and will dart around the cage while doing this at a quick pace. Is something wrong with them? Only the females do it. Another thing is that my male seems to be lazy. I don't know how to tell if my females are in heat, but when it seems like they are (either hopping or acting a bit agitated or sniffing at his 'equipment'), he just ignores them! Is something wrong with him? Last, I still don't know how to tell if the females are in heat. Please help!
