In the lab their maximum life span is 96 months, and mean life expectancy is 45.5 months for females and 47.5 for males. [24] In many areas deer mice live less than 1 year. [ 16 ] One captive male deer mouse lived 32 months, [ 16 ] and there is a report of a forest deer mouse that lived 8 years in captivity (another mouse was fertile until ...
