I think my agouti, Rusty, is pregnant. She's kind of bulbous around the stomach, towards her back legs. I was wondering if anyone could put a pic on here of a pregnant mouse? Gosh I hope she isn't, but I also wouldn't mind if she is, haha. Either way I need help, I am a first time owner and didn't have plans to breed anytime soon.
Could I possibly have bought her while she was pregnant? We have had her for almost two months but from what I have heard, they are only pregnant for a month? I don't know really. Could she have possibly gotten pregnant from a male mouse that was supposed to be female? All our mice are pet shop bought and some people say pet shops aren't always 100% on whether they have females or males even if they say they are all females.
1) How long til she delivers?
2) What signs should I be looking for?
3) Should I seperate her from her three other cagemates?
4) What do I need to know about culling and caring for the babies?
5) If she does give birth, is there anything I need to do during the process?
And anything else you feel is important!
I'm freaking out.
