Here is one of my elder Tricolor does one day before giving birth to her third litter. This lady is a very tame mouse and a good mother of dark Tricolors, but it will be her last litter, because she is nearly 10 months old now and will retire.
Guess the number of babies in this litter. Any idea?

I'm going with 12, too. My last 4 litters have been 12, so it seems like a good number. :lol:

so far nobody hit the right number, but it is guessing only, indeed.

A hint: Her first litter were 11 and her second litter were 16
(but I culled down the first litter to 6 and the second to 8, as soon as I could notice the markings of the babies).
I reduced the numbers of her third and last litter again.

Regards, Roland
