When do i know my female is ready to have her litter?

It will happen when shes ready. You should really leave her alone though. the more you disturb her the more shes holding out. she wont have those babies if she doesnt think its safe. i put toilet paper in my mice cage too to give them extra bedding for their nest. i also put a dark color shirt over the side with their nest. On top of that I seperated my females too but thats just me, im sure when i have more mice ill leave them together.

Try not to bother them so much with the hide lifting and so forth. Females will try to hold back birthing if they are fearful or can abandon/destroy their litter if they are bugged too much, especially with their first litter. Mice are particularily antsy that way. Just relax, provide food and water and let nature take it's course. :)

Still nothing this morning, both of them were outside of their hides. When i get home from work just maybe i'll have something:please:

Ive got babys! the one we have all been talking about STILL has not had anything, although there was three pinks on her side of the nest so she might just be haveing some now:O Im sorta expecting her to eat them.... she just was put into a compleatly new tank with new everything, so she might be a little stressed, but so far so good.

But any ways, 11 nice plump babys from her! Im so happy! The other was even bigger so i should get a little more!

27 babys!!!!

Is the good from two mice? one had 11 and the other had 16 last night and it looks to me that she didnt eat any of then. :hungry:

Breeding mice, so far so good!
