make that 10 babies!!! just went upto check and there is another 3! right a little worried, the babies are very cold. ive moved there box to a warmer spot.mum has them all in the nest but they just feel very cold. should i be worried?she doesnt seem interested in them. she has kept them all together, they dont have milk bellies so dont think they have been fed. she wont stay in the nest long enough. i dont know what to do. i can try my blue tan if she will adopt as she had her litter during the night lastnight. sorry im just getting worried now.ive not disturbed her.just leaving her to it. am i best to just leave her be?

anyone

she could still be in labour so moving around coz of that, or stressed coz your hanging around give her alittle more time to get used to being a mum

If the babies don't get milk in the first eight hours or so, they won't make it. Do you see a milk belly on any of them. It should be visible right through the skin at this stage.

she wasnt interested in them at all. this morning they still didnt have milk bellies and they were freezing. she was sleeping at the opposit end of the box. ive put in my black tan that lost all her babies at the begining of the week and amazingly she has took over. she is cleaning the babies, feeding them and keeping them warm. and now their birth mum is seeing this and showing a little more interest.

Its good that your other mouse is being a good nanny. Your not too lucky with your litters really are you, having some terrible luck with them. She must have fed them at some point or they wouldn't of made it through the night, but being such a large litter and being a first time mom she maybe just couldn't give them enough.

 

[kerryann]

they all seem nice a warm and wriggly. your right zigable, im not having any luck at all. i will leave these guys a few days before i take pics.

 

[zigable]

Well best of luck with these ones!

Congratulations! Looks like you got some black eyes and some pink eye babies...day 5 is my favorite cause that is when their fur starts to come in
