Qucik question bout my New mice. *IMPORTANT* HELP

Hey all.
Quick question. But a lil explanation first. You all know my situation with my pet store with the mice. They are over $5 each for the size anuis in on now so i bred my own for a lot cheaper. Now I am almost out of my stock so phoned the pet store today to let them know I am coming in <hour drive> on friday so I wanted them to put aside a male and female for me. Heres the problem. They dont' have female mice anymore. They only get males now. AGGGGG. So I tracked down a male and female from a girl who I gave my old breeders to. She had a male and female. So here is my question.
- The mice are brother and sister, and they are about 6 weeks old now and been together since birth. The female isn't pregnant. So do I have a chance of her getting pregnant or should I buy a new male. I have them seperated now for a few days before I puts them back togehter to see if that will help.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Sry this is so long. But I needs to know before I goes to the pet store on fri morning. Sigh
 
put them back together and give them more time, some males don't mature until 6-8 weeks, separating/moving them will delay things farther.
 
Why did you get rid of your old breeders? Once you have them breeding don't feed off the breeders, as starting a new colony can take up to 2 months before they produce anything.
 
Tks for the help all. i got rid of my old breeders because I had like 9 months of food in the freezer so I didnt wanna keep mice for the next 6 or 7 months before i was ready again. I was just gonna get new ones at the pet store when I was ready but they stopped carring females. Conspiracy. lol
