Will there be mice in winter?

There will be mice in winter. But very few.

Rats are not cold-blooded animals, so they don't need to hibernate. In winter, they also actively feed as usual. In winter, rats will move from outdoor to indoor for food, and haunt sewers, toilets, kitchens, sundries and garbage dumps.

But usually in autumn, they store a lot of food in caves for winter. In winter, because of the cold weather, mice usually don't appear in people's sight, and their activities will be reduced.

brief introduction

Temperature has a certain influence on the reproduction of rodents, mainly affecting their sexual maturity, mating activities and litter size. Too high or too low temperature can inhibit the reproduction of rodents.

Affected by low temperature in winter, some outdoor young rats may freeze to death, but the number of indoor rats is still relatively stable and has increased. Because in winter, the temperature turns cold, rats will frequently invade people's homes to avoid the cold wind and keep warm in order to survive the winter and reproduce.
