Answer:

31 years and 3 months or non

Explanation:

the first thought that comes into my mind is

1 month=7 mice

n month= 7×n=2625 mice

n= 2625÷7=375

so it takes him to 375 months = 31 year and 3 months

but putting on a 2nd thought, I noticed that mice and mouse is different species. so there aren't exact answer
