Mouse talk.

I could be a-hemming right now, but I'm busy playing Asteroids and watching a documentary about the Roman empire and China. Not mention that I'm using this forum as well.

OH!!! I just realized the problem with my mice!! With all those toys, I've given the male the equivalent of a remote control!!! My girls are never gonna get lucky... thanks, Stefan, for clarifying for me!! LOL

I HAVE BABY MICE!!!! I HAVE BABY MICE!!!! Whoooo hoooo after all this time!!! I have--- er---- mouse-lings!!! LOL

Wow. I didn't count, but there's a whole load of precious petite plump pink pups in there!

Wow. And you know what?

Er.... I don't need baby mice. Dedemona is eating f/t.

LOLOLOL

Funny how that worked out, huh??
Well, congrats on your unnecessary baby mice! I'm sure someone will still eat 'em if need be!

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations, Lori.

I gassed my last mouse about 45 minutes ago.

The balls will happily eat them when they are grown, it's just funny that I started all this just for Des. :-)

So... the male that was in that tank died last week (URI, I think). How soon is it safe to introduce a new male to the little family of 3 females and the mouse-lings?

Obviously I don't know much about mice, but I'd wait until the babies have been weened.

Aaarrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!! My second preggers mommy mouse-- she was HUGE, ready to pop any day-- died yesterday. Just... died. I found her lying in the tank when I got home. I can't fathom what happened!! These mice are very frustrating! It's become a challenge to me now-- I am determined to succeed at this...

hmmm...How could I miss this thread!
I currently have 2.7 multimammates. Breeding very well I guess...I found 33 and 27 young this week, so everyone is getting spoiled again
I'm now trying to breed them for color...Almost al multi's have white spots, so I'm breeding them for normal (grey) and 'pastel colors'...Why? No Idea but I just found a couple of "black and tan" mice...but then grey with white bellies

You could try this when you put all youre animals in a new enviroment (such as a clean cage, with clean toys/ acessories)

I picked up three very beautiful females from the pet store last week-- they are a SILVER color! Just lovely-- I've been trying to take pics but they just look either brown or gray in the pics. I would also like to see what colors I can get from them... just for fun. I just moved my only male, a white, in with them last night. He sure is making the rounds! He seems to never stop grinning...
