Pics of the new litters!

Cupcake had her litter almost a week ago and Oreo had hers a few days ago. You can see the difference a few days make with growing mice. I am hoping to hold back some females for breeding.





The orange things are carrot strips my mother in law gave them last night. I need to take those out.

I have a few left. I'll take some pictures tonight and post them up. I think I have 3-4 females. I'm going to sex them all tonight and they are all weaning age so they will also be separated from the moms, so those hard working girls can get some rest. I'm feeding off the males tonight. I'm also crossing my fingers that Cookie is pregnant. She's been nesting recently. The last time she was pregnant I didn't even know until she gave birth. It was a teeny litter (only 2) and she wasn't showing any signs of being preggers. She's not showing now except for the nesting behavior, so I'm hoping.

I just weighed all the girls. My two black and white females are 23g and 27g. They are being housed with their female offspring. The 3.5 week old females (agouti) 6g and 8g. The 4 week old albinos are 11g and 17g. 4 week old agouti girl is 12g. So that's 5 new females. I'm going to pair each albino with one agouti and I'm going to get one new females of a different fur color (I like to keep the females easily identifiable) so I can make 2 new breeding groups. The left over agouti female I might feed off. She's only 6g at 3.5 weeks old. She was the runt of the litter.

But that still leaves me with two new groups. The new groups will be breedable in the beginning of November.

She's doing fine. Very jumpy though. Nearly impossible to catch her. She might end up as snake food next week if she puts on a few grams. Still no babies from Cookie, but she is favoring a corner!

I'm setting up some mouse tubs today if I can get my butt in gear. I need to head over to HD so I can get zip ties.
