They opened their eyes today. ๐
Pictures of Miimi will take a few days longer because of sadnes when I found one of the little ones lying there not moving. I just took him out put Miimi back in the cage. Will not disturb her and the wee ones for a couple if days now. It's a sad part of having mice when some babies don't make it to adukrhood for unknown reasons. ๐ข๐ฃ
so sorry to hear

There are two litters. One with 7 and the other with 4. The first ones are walking and eating real food. So sweet age. I thinking of keeping most of them. Lovely having many mice. ๐
Miimis babies opened their eyes this evening. Lovely looking at them looking at me.
Im very pleased with the result. As I thought Miimi was too old to have more. 4 is okay. They look really great! ๐
Miimi is HUGE . She is probably going to have babies again tonight. I'm going to see if I can take pictures later. I moved her to a cage of her own.
oooh, how exciting! How long are hamsters usually pregnant for?

Miimi had 9 babies. ๐ She was sooo cute when she bit me when I took a quick look. Good I have thick skin๐ #15 mice are pregnant for 19-21 days. Miimi is a mouse . I think hamsters are pregnant for 21 days also.
Sorry I havent had time to update. I been seriuosly ill and in the hospital. Sweetpea is now in a cage with his two sons ๐ one black and white and one grey and white. At least I think they are males! The brown and white are females. They are with sweetpeas sister now. I haven't checked out the other young mice yet. I'm taking picture tomorrow. I'm naming them tomorrow as well ๐

I thought ladypea was just fat ๐ but a moment ago I found new born mice ๐ฎ. I hope she isn't too young. She is rather small. ๐
Ladypea is Only 6 Week old ๐ฎ and not ready fรถr having Babies. They died exept for the ones her mother .Mimii is taking care of. I though mice didnt get pregnant befor 5-6 weeks.
It sounds as though you have lost a bit of control, have you considered finding some of the mice new homes? or maybe improving your breeding knowledge?
It may be in the best interest of the animals, it seems almost cruel to let babies have babies themselves.

It was by misstanke she got pregnant. Not on perpose. In off this fake forum no smart people here. Bad advice. No one here for Support. How could I know that a 3,5 week mouse could get pregnant? They nornmally do not. Fake forum fake advice fake people.
I understand it was a mistake, I know nothing myself about mice. I use this community to see and learn from other people.
It seems we could all learn from Ladypea's pregnancy, be that the age mice can become pregnant, the age they should be pregnant or how to prevent early pregnancy happening in the future. Maybe someone here or other information online would teach us how to separate litters and how to deal with females and males.

I found this information on google.
After 3 weeks, and no longer than 4, the babies should be separated from their mother. Females should live with females only.
Males can live with other males until they are eight weeks old. At 8 weeks they reach sexual maturity. Once a male is sexually active he will fight any new male he encounters, often battling to the death. This could explain why one of your mice started biting.
The website then goes on to say "Females can get pregnant at six weeks of age; males can breed by the time they are eight weeks old, so be certain you have them separated well before then." and says "Unless you want to be overrun, youโll need to keep the boys and girls apart"
Hence my suggestion of finding some of the mice new homes so you have full control and can enjoy the animals rather than worrying about them.
As I've said before, I am no mice expert, this is all information I found easily on google.

Some of the mice have new homes or else I would have hundreds of mice. I'm experienced breather of pets. I never had a mouse get pregnant so small. It's not normal. I can't remove the female before they are ready to leave their mom. And the nasty bite the small male had. I never seen that tiny mice attack each others. Adult males do that. Not small ones. He is fine now Stuart is really enjoying himself in his new cage. I don't need inexperienced people criticising everything I do. I done what I can to Help my animals. I might be better of talking to myself than be online if a forum that has people critisising me for not knowing things no one can know. I'm not God and neighter are any one else here. So far I'm had only good experience with my pets. No animal I ever had did get cancer. My hamsters lived longer than most I know of. My mice get really old allmost three years. I had a poodle that was so healthy people thought he was just half his age. I should not gone online here if I had known this is a fake forum. No one here knows anything! I'm leaving internet totally. I had it with fake people.
Why isnt lady peas sisters pregnant? They ought to be pregnant as well.
I am so sorry if I've caused any upset, I was only trying to show my interest and offer any Help and Support. I was not meaning to criticise, I was trying to highlight the importance of finding solutions so it would not happen again. It is very clear that these animals are very important to you.

Do you want to read true stories or just fake ones? You can go to the library and read children's books! They have happy stories with happy endings! I lost a child during pregnancy. Why not have a go at me! Do it. Tell me how I must have smoked and drink during my pregnancy! Do it. You think you are so freaking perfekt! humans have misscarridges. Mice do too. Horses lose their newborns sometimes even if a vet is present! One has to accept the facts of nature. Pets are wonderful. One has to accept their are living beings! No one of either mice or hamsters or dogs or cats are perfect.
