uh oh.. a little help please

I may have a problem but I'm not sure. A male accidently got into a cage of 20 girls. The problem is they're barely even 2 months old only about 120 grams average. I saw a male in the cage and I took them all out and checked to make sure the rest were females and they were, but on one when I was checking sex I noticed some stuff on her area so I'm not sure how might be pregenant. The good thing is, I wasn't planning on having any of them be breeders nor was I planning on growing them out, I was going to put that group down soon.. If there are some pregenant ones in there, would it be okay if I put them down and used them as feeders? Or might there be a problem? I've never had this problem before so I wouldn't know, thanks for the help!

Why would there be a problem if you were going to put them down anyway? Were you going to wait until they got larger?

I don't see a problem with putting them down... I've fed off prego rats & mice before. No problems.

No problem...just more goodness on the inside.:D


Though in my experience at 8 weeks the girls are still young and not likely fertile yet. When I have had issues like this it usually only results in pregos at 12 weeks +. Not saying they cannot get pregnant at 8 weeks just not as likely.
