do spinny mice show much when they are pregnant i have 5 and im sure there all girls but some have got fater but im not sure if its coz the are eating better

Depends how many they are having, if its just one then they won't show, 2 and they'll show a little bit, 3 they'll show quite a lot, and not very common at all for spiny's will be 4 but most of the time if a litter is over 2, one or more of the babies will be smaller and weak, and often die.

But yes they can hide it very well, they don't tend to show (if they do) until the very late stages of pregnancy, at the stage usually that they will retreat to a den and you don't see them anyway until you discover babies!

how long have you had them there gestation is 35-45 days so if you have had them longer you wither have a male or there not preggies
