Is my mouse pregnant? Please Help...?

Question

okay i have two mice A boy thats 6 weeks, and a girl thats about 7 weeks im thinking... shes getting fat right above her back legs like her waist her sides are kinda big. and she was lazy for the last couple days but today she has been running around all day while the male has been asleep she has been eating alot too and i have fed her potatoes and crackers to make her healthier.

Answer 1

Why the heck are they in together?

Why are you breeding? Think about it. Breeding is not a game... it's not a matter of just putting a male and female animal together. Mess with the wrong genes and breed the wrong animals and you could end up with some very sick babies. Do you know the mom and dad's genetic/health history at least three generations back? Pet store animals should never be bred, you know nothing about their health background. It doesn't matter if they seem healthy now or the vet gave them a clean bill of health... it's what's in their genes. There are more than enough small animals in shelters and rescues without more poorly bred ones being added to the overpopulation. There's a lot more to breeding responsibly than you might think. Please read and make a responsible decision:

Edit: Because potato and crackers are just SO healthy for pregnant mice. Read some more, seriously. The male needs to be removed before she gives birth so that he doesn't get her pregnant again right after she births.

Answer 2

It might be, and is very very possible;

Do you have any pictures,

If so upload some,

Or she could just be getting pudgy. =]

But I'm leaning towards more of preggo.

Answer 3

it sounds like she is.

do you have a scale to put her on

here's how to tell take a picture of her

then take another tomorrow

usually a mouse that is fat its whole body is fat

if its only the waste and back legs

congratulation's and since you can see

any day now they will be ready

lazy is a sign of a pregnant mouse

that what mine all were before giving birth
