Well my mouse had her babies.
I don't know how many are left but they did kill quite a few. I can hear them squeaking so there must be a few left. Maybe 7 or 8 I think. What is it with mice killing their first litters? When I had them years ago they sometimes did this but then went on to have more litters and never did it to any of them.

Maternal behaviour is only partially instinctive - it also requires practice or observation.
Imagine this: You're a new mother mouse with a load of little squeakings. There's several things that are really obvious that can go wrong. 1. You don't know how often you need to feed them, so you don't feed them often enough. They get weak and/or die - and your instinct then is to clean up the mess. Hey, baby mice are made of meat! 2. You don't know when to stop grooming them, you draw blood... Hey, baby mice are made of meat! 3. You're weaker than you thought after giving birth... Hey, baby mice are made of meat! If you've got an experienced mother in there who knows all of this, you're much less likely to lose babies, because she knows how often to feed, when to stop grooming and so on - and can SHOW first-timers what to do.

how old are these mice?
my only female had a litter yesterday, but she ate the last lot(was her 1st litter) so iv not really looked in the nest yet. I know they are alive as iv heard them squeek and stuff. But my mouse was no where near as big as them ones in pics.

My mice were 5-6 weeks when I got them and I've had them about 4-5 weeks so they are about 10-11 weeks.
They've been together all that time and only now bred. They are all the same age so none of them had had a litter before. Hopefully they will rear this litter.
