    Can pregos reabsorb their litters?
    I had a mouse i was 100% was pregnant maybe due in a week (Only sure because its my second litter) ok so i put her in a separate tank she started to look stressed and eventually just got back small and was walking kinda funny i put he back in the tub (1.3)

    So can they reabsorb the litter?
    Will she forever be damage?
    should i just feed her an get a new female?

    They can, but it's unlikely that she reabsorb the whole litter. My guess is she destroyed the litter after birthing.

    never layed i am 75% sure of that even if i wasn't here someone was aleways checking in on her to see. And i watched her and she was in like a state where she was breathing heavy and im sure i am was watching her loose weight with plenty of food in her cage. she never made a nest nor did i see one spec of blood?

    SHould i hold on to her an try again?

    If mice or rats have issues birthing ( post mature) they can reabsorb the babies. Sorry for your loss:(

    Sorry for your loss. With mice you don't need to move them to a maternity ward like rats, you can leave them all together.

    I have never removed a male rat from a tub.
