    Oops Mouse is Pregnet

    Ok I am not trying to breed mice but after today that may happen. I went to the pet shop today and got a mouse for Fang. When I got home noticed how large she was and sure enough it is prego, well not just that full term and is probably giving birth tonight What the hell do I do I dont get paid till friday after these things are born how big of a container do I need to get. Fang not hungry so he cant eat before she gives birth I am stuck . Right now the mouse is in a cage with food water and has Aspen bedding.

    yea just leave the mouse in there til she gives birth. You can wait a few weeks or however long it takes for her to wean them if you want. You would have some more meals but then they could breed with eachother and in no time you could end up with a crapload of mice lol

    Your set up sounds fine. Just wait for her to have her babies. They should be weaned by 3-4 weeks of age. Looks like your snake has food for a while once they're up to size

    Or just feed a couple at a time instead of just one.
    Both ways work fine

    A little fyi.. mice smell horrible. Besides there size, and the fact they seem to have smaller litters. That's just me though. If you're going to breed anything, I'd say to breed rats.

    I dont want to breed though lol , She has not given birth yet is it ok for me to try to feed her to Fang again? It would be just more nutrition right . I was thinking more food in the long run as well but like zeion said if they stink I dont want them kept in my sons room any where else my cats would get them.
