[melrappmel]

my mom bought 2 feeder mice for me today (well for my ball python) and one looks normal the other one (which I checked is a female) has swelling near her lower half like its way rounder than the rest of her so could anyone show me some pictures of some pregnant mice also right now I have her with another mouse in the cage I have should I get the other mouse out of there....my mom also got my corn snake a pinkie only problems my corn eats f/t so i hve a baby mouse named fred on my lap wrapped in tissues I dont want to feed my corn snake live so I dont know what to do with fred......if I have him to my bp could she eat fred + an adult mouse or would that be bad?

thanks, melissa

I"d just recommend feeding the normal mouse to the BP. As for your corn snake, if she's used to eating F/T, I'd just humanely kill fred, and give him to the corn. Either that or try feeding her live. Shouldn't make much of a difference in her eating habits. Only risk is that she won't go back to F/T. I'd wait and see if the female mouse gives birth. If she does, you'll have some free mice to feed to your BP. Otherwise, you just have a mouse to feed. A link to an image is below.
