So, my prego mouse was about to give birth. I had already separated the male and was filling up food dishes, water bottle etc, on my three cages. Momma mouse was in her nest and I just cleaned up a little bit. She then got out of the nest and to my surprise there was a pinky!!! I am like, let me get out of here , she is in labor.

So, I got out of the room but went to check on it before I went to bed (4 hours later). Still only one pinky!!!!! This morning when I checked, it looked like she was done birthing. Could not get a count, but at least 12. She was nursing and looked like one died and she ate the head.

My question is, does anybody know how long does the birth process take for mice. Is it normal to drop one and then nothing for 4 hours?????

Thanks,

Paula
