Average size of a litter is 1 - 4. On occassion a litter of 5 or more will show up.
Size doesn't usually come into play. It depends on the how prolific she is, how many eggs she drops at the time of ovulation and how many are fertilized. This is why when breeding your female you need to take her size into consideration, it's not only determining how many she may concieve but, is she big enough to carry a litter of 5, does she have enough room in there to allow the pups to grow.
