Hi ya,

The mice won't be up and running around the cage in those 2 weeks so you do have time. Normally as long as water and food are given as often as she'll eat then all should be good. The mother mice do the work for you which means a lot of milking for her so keep her stocked up on food.

One thing to consider, I am not too sure what you are keeping the mice in. Is it a tank? Because the one thing that will cause mice to take longer to grow and often become ill is if there is not enough ventilation. Without ventilation they often develop bad breathing. As long as this is ok you should have strong baby mice.
