Babies!!!

[captiankush]

Well, My girl and I have two mice. When we got them, we were told that both were female. I didn't bother to double check & thanks to the IDIOTS at petsmart and thier inability to accurately sex a mouse, our female, Cracker, Is now knocked up by Spark Plug, our boy.

She is due any day, thought I would share some pics. I never new a mouse could grow to such a size. She is nearly the size of a tennis ball!

As a comparison, here are some of Spark Plug and her together.

Any day now...Excited!

Cracker we have had for two years, Spark Plug just a year. We had another female but she passed away about a month ago.

Strangely, I would normally be down to feed the forthcoming pinkies to the fishes but for some reason, I feel a responsibility to these ones, they are already part of the family.

No worries, bro. Perhaps you can answer a question I have yet to find a good answer to.

Whats the signs of labor in mice? I know gestation is usually about 21-25 days, We are guesstimating she is about 3 weeks now.
