Well Finally!

Finally I have mouse pinks! One of the two albino females we bought last week (which were both obviously preggo) has given birth. I haven't a clue how many there are and I'm not about to touch them to count them - a quick peek looks to be maybe 8 to 10? The other female seems to be helping the momma mouse and looks ready to pop herself at any moment. I'm just leaving them be, feeding and watering and staying the heck away from them so nobody needs to eat anybody (you hear that you silly mice!!!!)

Now if the male albino does his job perhaps Foxy, Taffy and Happy (my three original silkie female mice) will finally produce some mice for the snakes. Oh and the two new female albino mice are named Meenie and Miney, Moe is the male albino....we apparently now need an Eenie! LOL

Congrats on the pinks

Yaaaayyyy! Baby mice! Congratulations!

Awesome! I'm glad your mouse breeding project is taking off, at long last! :D

Thanks all! Well I hope it is Sarah. These two females techinically were not bred at our house as we bought them already obviously pregnant but hopefully this will break my bad luck with mouse breeding thing. :)

Way to go...mice in the house. Congrats. :carrot: :carrot:

i hope your mousie birthing continues on and on and on and on and on :hug:

If you are ever in my area let me know my mice NEVER stop producing babies :P .

Thanks Joe. You know it's ridiculous...rats and mice are both rodents! The rats...they just go happily about their rattie lives, regularily producing lovely litters of feeders for Mike and I. Not much of a worry there at all. These dang little mice are nothing but a worry. You look at them crosseyed, they eat their young! Makes you wonder how come there are a ton of mice in the world doesn't it LOL.

I'm going to peek into Meenie and Miney's little mouse house today and see how the one litter is and if the other female has delivered yet. Wish me luck. *grumbles - rats are soooo much easier to manage*

It will work out Jo!!! I'm glad to see you finally have some babies. ;)

Well I got brave and took a pic of the mouse litter. I can see milkbands quite visible on some. It's hard to tell if this is the result of both females are not. The one is obviously thinner, the other is a bit chubbier so I'm not sure if she's delivered or not but I suspect so. They were both on the babies when I checked but you could tell one was doing the actual nursing. Seems to be about 12 or 14 of them but I counted quick and got out of there as the one female mouse started to grab pinks and move them from the nest (obviously nervous of this big human clicking away).

Awww, look at the little jelly beans!!!! I never had two mommas together - I'm interested to see how it progresses!

crosses fingers hoping that finally we might be getting a jump on our mouse eaters food supply.
