The good news is this morning I woke up to a surprise. One of my little Variegated girls (who I thought wasn't too far along as she was so small, belly wise) has popped out six tiny pinkies. They all look good and mummy is fine. This is my first litter from show types and first Varie litter.
The bad new is the other Variegated, who has been her pal for some time, seems to have miscarried. I seperated her a few days ago, because it looked like she had the beginnings of something else my mice had a while back, so she was in her own cage. I've been cleaning her up every day or so, then I woke up this morning to find little pink blobs all around her cage. She was also supposedly pregnant, but because of belly size, I couldn't tell again. Anyways, small, liquidy looking pink things are all around her cage. The only thing that I can think is miscarrige.
What do I do about her? Let her recover for a few days and see if she seems better, or is there something else I can do?

I would definately rest her and let her live with company (other females). If you breed her again, you have no way of telling if this will happen again. Especially if you feel there was something wrong with her before this happened. What was it that your other mice had a while back that you seen in this female and how long ago? Maybe that will explain things? Were they related?
