Mommy Mouse Dairy -
- 1st batch - Mommy mouse had 6 babies boys. We have 2 left of
that batch. Lazareth and Smigel. The mice were all doing well then one
day something happened and they all got sick. I think it might of been
the bedding. All died but 2 but not before one of them got mommy
pregnant again. I think it might of happened when our neighbor (they one
that gave us the mom) said, "Oh I think that one is a girl you better
put her in with the mom." Nope... she was wrong took him about five
seconds to start humping. Damm. Well we are now very good at sexing a
mouse.
- 2nd Batch - Mommy mouse then had 9 babies. Oh boy! 4 girls
and 5 boys. We have 6 left from that batch. Ruth, Bright eyes,
Sweet pea, Hercules, David and 42. All the rest got sick and dies or ran
into one of our cats. Poor babies. My daughter got a book on mice. We
were told to separate them at 1 month. We separated them at 3 wks to be
safe. Pooky the 2nd, one of my daughters favorite mouse was very ill. So
we put him in with the girls. He was still not a month old. Well before
he died he got 2 of the mice pregnant. We did not know about it until a
few days before they were born. So we found out that 3 wk old very sick
mice can still get a mouse pregnant.
