Rhea, our pregnant mouse has now been moved into the vivarium with her sisters Ciara and Rae. Ciara may also be pregnant but I'm not sure. When we got them they all looked around the same size, that was a month or so ago and they were 6 weeks old then, now Ciara looks a bit more rounded than Rae and Rhea is obviously pregnant, she is a kind of pear shape.

Today, Rhea and Ciara have both been in their little house, it's clear so I can see them, and they've made a little nest with newspaper and kitchen roll. They've only really came out for food or water. I've been giving them their usual food and last night I gave them a small amount of boiled chicken.

I had taped a bottle to the side of the viv but it kept falling down so I've put a little dish in there and they're all using it fine. I plan to get a bird feeder to stand a bottle up in there tomorrow, I'll also update with photos then

dishes of water can be dangerous for baby meeces so you will need to get the bottle sorted before theyre mobile, Freckles looked enormous before she gave birth, I couldnt imagine a mouse could get that big and she was definately pear shaped. It would be a good idea to weigh the other females to see if they are gaining weight, which would indicate pregnancy.

Thanks, what would I use to weight them? Kitchen scales?
Also, we're getting them a bottle tomorrow and the babies aren't born yet so it'll be fine

If your kitchen scales are accurate enough then they would be fine, I used to pop mine in a tupperware box while I did it then I took the weight of the box off, I do weigh the rats, mice and gerbils from time to time now just to make sure they arent loosing or gaining too much.

Thanks for the photos, Freckles looks very much the same as Rhea now. I'm still not too sure about Ciara. The babies are adorable

Rhea has had her babies, not sure how many as of yet. I've only seen the one through a little gap of bedding, she was giving the baby a clean then covering it to keep it warm
