    That looks like no pregnant mouse I've ever seen. Looks like a tumor to me, or maybe a hernia?

    Not the best picture, but it looks like a tumor, or megacolon. Preggo rats are round on both sides when you pick them up like that.

    Looks like a tumor to me, possibly a teratoma.

    Looks like a yucky tumor. If it were me, I'd put that mouse to sleep.

    Re: tumor or pregnant?

    i really wouldnt like to put it asleep but if i have to i will. i already have my own sanctuary or mice that are injured/sick including a mouse with 2 legs a mouse with 1 ear and 3 legs and possibly a mouse with ahuge tumor lol. is a tumor painful and does it (probably ) affect life span of a mouse?

    I think that the kindest thing would be to humanely euthanize it (don't even use it as a feeder).
