Bianca and Bernie are up for adoption-ADOPTED!

I hope she isn't preggers, and i hope she's just piling some healthy weight on

I'm sorry Lyndsy, but I have to laugh, only because I just went through the same experience! Here are some pictures of Minnie leading up to her litter:

This is when we brought her home Dec. 16:


On Dec. 21 when we were suspecting she was preggers:





And very early on the 24th, the day she had her little ones:

The advice I got on the thread I created was very helpful... I've been a bit of a hermit the past few days and I haven't updated it but I will soon, I promise. I hope she's not, but if she is baby mice are impossibly cute. When my husband told me he was bringing home a mouse I was less than thrilled but I am in love with them all... I even asked my vet about neutering the boys so I can keep them all!

Thanks Victoria!
The first pic you posted is what I see when I have out on me and she stretches out a bit. like lovehandles on both sides...
I'm hoping too she's just gaining weight, and isn't preggers....
only time will tell, lol

Just in case make sure she has nice, comfy nesting material (Minnie loved facial tissue) and that she has some extra protein and calcium. I know it's not the best for her if she's a little overweight already, but you'll know within a week or so.

jan 15-22g
:shock:

she went from 20 yesterday to 22 today??? any ideas?

 

[victoria]

I have an idea :laugh4: ... when did you first begin suspecting? It was 6 1/2 days from the time I noticed Minnie's belly (at first I thought it was a tumor, phew!) 'til she gave birth. All kidding aside though, with the amount mice eat (relative to their body weight) I would not be surprised if their weight varies by that much from day to day. I think only time's going to determine this one.

 

[lj]

Um, you fed her more. That's why she's heavier. :giggle:

Man, mice weigh a lot huh?

 

[sausage4ever]

If she's preggie she go all golfball by the end of the month if not you're in the clear, there's not much you can do but wait, as e-spays would be way too risky on these lil' goobers

 

[victoria]

What are e-spays? I've been wondering this for a while...

 

[henry's_mum]

What are e-spays? I've been wondering this for a while...

e-spays are emergency spays. They are done early in a pregnancy if it's possible, and prevents the litter from being born.

 

[victoria]

I see... I should've known. :?

 

[henry's_mum]

well Bernie has sat at 19-20g for 2 days now... i'm assuming she wasn't pregnant, or she re absorbed!
These girls are NOW up for adoption!!!

 

[Dahlas]

[henry's_mum]
