Re: Handling Mouse Babies?
Ive touched probably thousands of New born pinks and not once had a female eat any of them. Normally if they are fed a good diet, clean, and used to you dinking around them for cleaning and feeding and the occasional grab to see if they are pregnant, you will not have a problem.
Ive found that if they are going to eat them you will not even see the pinkys to begin with. You'll open the tub, maybe find a head or two or a dead pinky in the bedding, but youll see a once golf ball sized mouse and no baby's.
If I ever had a mouse eat her babys because I touched them, that mom would be fed off because I have to be around them too often to worry about not touching later litters.

Sissy...haha:D
