So I have had a stock of mice for my snakes since I got them, and have had 4 litters since then. The last 2 litters of 6 pinkies each have died out (1st one 4 of 6 died, 2nd 6 of 6 over a day), those were in a cage with additional mice so i know that could have been from mother/male fighting/ect...ALSO I KNOW I need to separate male/female, I just have 1 male atm but am building a new setup for them.
SO
I went ahead and built a makeshift "poorly made IMO" (lol) maternity ward for my next pregnant mice. I do have one female who I am 80% sure is pregnant now so i went ahead and put her in this new tub today (about 30 minutes ago). I tried to provide enough space/distractions for her for now, but since she has been in there she has been going around the whole thing climbing on everything and trying to bite the mesh/everything and get out.
MY QUESTION!
Is this normal? Will she calm down and chill out soon?
It may seem like a stupid question, but I only ever had rats before so i am new to mice and just don't want to stress her out or her to hurt herself.
(Also I did add another female in there for a few minutes to see if they would chill but it did not help)
Am I just being stupid paranoid?
THANKS!
