My little sister adopted a couple of mice two weeks ago, and when I saw one of them I thought she looked a little... chubby. Her nipples were pretty clear too, so I thought maybe she was pregnant. But fifteen days passed and she only got a teeny bit bigger (maybe because of a better diet), so I didn't think about it. She and her sister were also taken to the vet for respiratory stuff, and the vet didn't mention noticing any pregnancy. BUT her nipples are still pretty prominent, and I know that there's still five or so days left in her gestation if she had just gotten pregnant before we brought her home.
I was just wondering what the signs to look for are in a pregnant mouse? I know about rats, but I don't know if mice are similar. We haven't been weighing her, but maybe we should start? Thank you!
