I found one very small baby in with Ollie today. I knew she was expecting, but by my calculations she shouldn't be due for another week. Anyway, I checked on her about 2 hours ago, and the baby i found earlier today, i found dead. It was very small. She still hasn't had any more, but still appears to be rather pregnant.

How long can mouse labour go on for?

Opinions please xx

I know this is an old post, but could we have an update please? I had a mouse that had 11 babies at 9 in the morning, but when I checked at 4PM, she had thirteen.

Ollie didn't have any more babies. I don't quite know what happened there to be honest. the one baby she had died. it was very small. Ollie is back to being her usual self, climbing and running about.

Are you going to breed her again?

I'm unsure. I would like to. But it won't be for a while. Everything during her pregnancy went like clockwork....that is until she had one baby and then no more. She's back down to normal size now and as i say is active and happy in herself. I've got her in with my other resting doe Millie. Millie had a litter early in May, so she's resting now. They're both chilling together.
