Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

Oh, also the babies from the first 2 litters have been named now. By OH, not me, he insisted.

We have:
Girls (we think)- Cherub, Adventure Mouse, Honey, GG, Boo, Ruby & Delilah
Boys (we think)- Pirate Petey (?), Winnie, Wiggles, Jitterbug, Clover, Reuben, Buddha & Rothgar.

Then we have Patch, who we're still unsure about

Some of the babies, one in particular, have been using the water bottle today, is this good? He's also been having a little nibble on pieces of food
From about 2 weeks they start doing these things so yeah I think that's fine. You keeping them all?? xx

Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

No, we're going to rehome the majority. We might keep a girl or 2 and a few boys.

Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

The first 2 litters are getting very jumpy! They've been handled today and they're a lot more playful. We've added a few toilet roll tubes and kitchen roll tubes to their tank now they're more playful and they seem to be loving them.

Litter 3 haven't changed much from yesterday, still no eyes open.
Is it normal for the mum to just run around when the babies are feeding. Rae runs off when they're feeding so they just fall off as she runs.. :/ it looks horrible.

Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

LauM if youre wanting homes for them it would be a good idea to make another thread in small animal rescue/rehoming section asking for homes for them, most times a mouse train can be arranged if people arent nearby.

Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

Thanks, I've done that.

The mice are doing well, they're all eating proper food and drinking from the water bottle now. A slight worry is that our younger ones are 3 days younger than the other litters but they are quite a lot smaller than the others were 3 days ago. They're doing fine, just very small. Is that a problem?

Re: Pregnant mouse/mice updates :)

Just a quick update, all the mice apart from 2 girls and 3 boys have now gone to their new homes. We are taking 2 girls and 2 boys to their new homes tomorrow and we're planning to keep the remaining boy.

Unfortunately we lost one girl yesterday after she became ill. We had an appointment for her at the vets for tomorrow morning but she passed away last night. She'd been a bit weak for a few days.
