I have a litter of mice that don't seem to be growing properly!! They didn't have the best start in life with terrible mums, so I fostered them off and they have improved dramactically, they are not skinny, there fur is good and they seem perfectly in proportion, except that they are so darn small for their age!!
The parents were big and very typey, so i was expecting decently sized bubs from them. Do you think they have been stunted because of the poor care they got from thier mums in the first week? Or could it be genetic?
I'm keeping them, they aren't sick, and I would be interested to see at what size they stop growing.
