Congrats! As you have more litters and you get to know how mum reacts to you being near her babies, you will become more adventerous with looking in on them. My first litter I left well alone but as I have had more I got more brave and now I check the babies over when I find mum has had them, I even cull the bucks on day one, but I do take mum out first

Enjoy having your first mouslings!

Yes they are sqeaking for food! Or mum is cleaning them a bit rough but nothing to worry about generally. I have not lost any pinkies down to mum killing them and I have had 10 litters now I have had one still born and one die at 6 wks and one at 3 wks so thats not bad.

Well done on having a go at sexing them! I chickened out and took my first couple of litters to Dom & Fae but now I can do on day one
I still find it hard to take them down but it has to be done for the wellbeing of the mice, they just aren't made to have so many I only take the bucks out and always leave the does in no matter how many does there are but I have never had more than 7 does.
Love to see some picks at some point

Must be a variation of stone then? There are differant shades of stone.
