This is my story: I bough two mice from a friend in school. He said he was positive the mice were two girls. That wasn't the case, at all. After about a week I saw something very wierd on Tethis, one of the mice.

He had something that Embla didn't! Oh noes, Tethis is a boy!

One night I was sitting by my computer as usual and I heard some wierd sounds from the cage where I keep my mice. I looked, and I found this:

Bad quality, I know, but if you look closely, you can see that they are.. having sex! I began to realize that I was soon going to be a grandmother (lol) and started reading alot about mice having babies. I didn't want Embla to get pregnant again so I moved Tethis to another cage.

After a while, Embla started to look more and more like a pear..

Embla just continued to grow and grow. Two days ago I heard something. "miip miip miip" from the cage. I looked and guess what I found?

:laugh: had some mice some years ago too...boy and girl...not long till they made 10++ babies. after birth the dad went out to avoid more offspring. well, i wanted to sort out the babies after they have been mature enough but damn...one (or more) of them erm DID their own mother and after a while again babies.

mice are cute but very very fertile :eek:

lol, yes, I know :) I moved Tethis before Embla gave birth because they get pregnant right after birth if not seperated. Boy-mice become fertile at 5 weeks and that's when you should seperate them from their mother :)

Btw, anyone have suggestions about what I should name the little ones?
So far I have: Otto, 9 liter, McGyver, Sweetstuff and Mercedes :)

Who wouldn't want to sleep with someone and then all of a sudden find out that you are a father of 10+ children :rolleyes:

Luckily mice and humans don't think alike :laugh:


Good luck and congratz! :)

Sorry...but you didn't mention anything about your snake....the one that you are raising the mice for.

Actually, pinkies make great food for small or young snakes. I have a friend with a Freezer full of frozen pinkies in a bag. ya, a bit gross.... never accepted an offer of icecream while visiting his place.
