Do mice miscarry?
I had, two trios of black's together for 3 weeks with no visible signs of pregnancy in either of the 4 females, so in an effort to entice them along a bit I swapped the bucks over on monday (4th) - this seemed to get them fired up and they spent lots of time sniffing the 'business' end and attempting to mount. But this morning I was greeted with blood soaked bedding and shavings in one of the cages - none of the mice are injured so I can only assume one of the females miscarried?
Any ideas?
