Hello all!
About two weeks ago I picked up two mice from the small pet store I usually get them from. My mouser BP who has been eating like a champ (for him), two mice a week, decided all of a sudden that he did not want to eat after all for a bit.He does this periodically. He'll eat wonderfully for a couple months, then go off feed for a couple months and so on. He just shed today, so he may be willing to take one now. But, I decided to get a lesson in sexing mice today while I was at the store. Turns out I had a male and a female. (I had suspected as much...but wanted to be sure.)
Anyway, I noticed she's a little chubbier than she was a couple weeks ago. I don't know if that's just the high quality food, or if she's pregnant?
I don't mind either way, but I don't want to feed her off if she is pregnant. I can keep her and her babies and use them for him for a few weeks once they get big enough.![]()
So my question is...how do you tell if your doe is pregnant? Are there specific signs I should be looking for?
