Here's a picof one of my mice.
She is very pregnant but not showing any signs of giving birth yet.

Sorry about her being on a plate it was just where she wanted to be to have her picture taken.
Does give new meaning to 'feeder food' tho'.

It was the only place she would sit still'ish' so I could get a pic.

If I was as pregnant as her I'd be insisting on a ceaser.

I'm hoping she won't eat the babies. It will be her first litter so I won't be surprised if she does

.
Her sister did the other day. She had about 20 babies they were so tiny but she had killed them all when I came home and found them. I'm hoping, if they kill the first litters, they will be OK with the next litters.

Mine are lab mice. I was told they should have very large litters. the other ones babies were very tiny only aobut 10mm long.
She isn't a big mouse but her poor little legs hardly reach the floor now. She looks like a tennis ball on legs.
I would imagine she should have them in the next day or two!!!

Be careful with the Reds and Fawns. Don't pair a Red to a Red or a Fawn (or a Fawn to a Fawn or a Red) if you can possibly help it - you'll reduce your litter size AND Reds and Fawns are genetically prone to obesity.

You'll have to send me photos of the babies once they start getting fur

Unfortunately I didn't wind up with any new mice - the shop just didn't have anything I wanted. I don't know why it is shops are FULL of spotty "cow" mice... all I want is nice clean solid colours.

And Saxon: I love it when female mice wind up all "lightbulby"

Though you won't find "husky" mice... the Roan gene in mice is totally different to the Roan gene in rats that makes Husky rats. I'm not sure there's any Roan mice in the UK at all, to be honest
