These are when they were a day or couple of days old, this is 3 litters as the other litters hadn't been born.
Here they are at 5 and 6 days old 3 litters here, we have a little runt who seems to have put on a bit of weight today hopefully will be ok but we are keeping the little runt anyway known as runty at the mo.
Also one of the mums or the babies have bitten off one of the other babies front leg hand so is left with a stump everything is dry and clean so hopefully it will heal, had this happen many years ago when we were breeding baby hamsters and we kept the 3 and a half legged hamster so we will be keeping the one with the stumpy leg aswell.
These are 1 and 3 days old 2 litters in here.
We have alot of what looks like black and whites, also lilac's, lilac and white, possibly a white maybe a couple of himi's but we shall see.
Thank you all for your lovely comments. Naomi I know hun can't wait to see them all furry, Yup so many different colours can't wait to see what they all look like.
Hi Maze thanks I know so cute isn't it. I know poor little mouse but they manage well with 3.5 legs he/she won't have known any different and won't remember having had a foot because of being so young. The only things you have to watch for is bars, steps and their nails because of being unbalnced but we have done it before with a hamster and having a mouse with a stump is ok with us so he/she is staying anyway.
Here are up to date piccies of our babies taken tonight. One mum we've had to pull out she's gone very skinny think she has exhausted herself feeding the babies she's not eating etc we are taking her to the vet tommorow got some brilliant advice from a friend. We put her in with the older female babies she already knows these 2 I got from a friend and took one of the mums from the total of 29 babies in the cage and put her in with the 12 babies to give those babies a better chance as they are alot smaller.
Ahhh! So cute!!
I love the one in the second picture looking out to the right, a kind of argente colour?
And the one in the last picture top right with the eye patch!!
Hey SarahY and Sommy thank you for your lovely comments. The Argente colour looking one aahh can't remember if he/she lol but is a lilac mummy is a lilac. We like the one with the eye patch aswell hehe kinda looks like someone smudge some mascara over the eye. SarahY cute isn't it the only markings the little one has hehe.
Hey thanks all for that they are so lovely and the colours aswell. Shame no one seems to want any of our lovely mice though they are missing out on some gorgeous friendly mice.
Here are some more up to date piccies of the babies. We have to keep finding deeper and deeper containers not sure who said mice don't jump because ours certainly do and quite high at that lol.
I like the one with the white blaze on its face, it looks a bit like a hereford.
