If the cage is too small to put food and water in, you need to get a larger cage. Depending on the age of the babies it might be too stressful to move them right now. You don't want to stress out the mother or she may kill her babies.
no they will fight, and some babies may die.
No, the male mouse will harm the babies if they are not old enough. I left my male mouse in the same cage when my female had babies, what I found was that she would only go near the babies when it was feeding time, other than that my male ( the father ) was the one to protect then when people put their hands in the cage and he would sit on them to keeo them warm it was so cute, also good for the babies as he is the size on a small rat. xXx LostNHopeless
As long as there is one male mouse and one female mouse in the same cage there will most likely be babies.
If your mouse has babies, leave the mother mouse and her babies alone for at least three days. After three days, you can clean out the mouse's home, and pick up and hold the babies. Keep cleaning the cage every six days or so, and make sure the mother has plenty of food and water. After about four weeks, you can begin sexing and separating the males from the females.
No way. If the baby mice are in the cage long enough with the mother mouse, the mother mouse will indefinitely eat the babies.
Yes we had a pregnant mouse who was in a cage with 7 other female mice, so we put her in her own cage. When she has her babies, she will make a nest for them so make sure there is plenty of bedding. If you do not separate them the baby mice might be at risk, although a pregnant mouse can be kept in the same cage. If her babies are in the cage with other mice, she might nip and bite the mice to protect her babies though
Is the male still in the cage with them? She will go right into heat again if there are no babies...lose the male!
You should not disturb the mouse at all. Leave her with her babies and let them bond and get used to each other. After three days, you can then look and pick up the baby mice, but remove the mother mouse from her cage, or she'll start moving the babies around.
the males will eat and kill the babies
hello giveing a grown mouse water is easy all you have to do is either put water is a small bowl which i wouldn't do because there is osmething better to feed your mice water with and that is a dripper but they can onlt though cling onto the cage or hang from the cage so it's really up two you which method you use hope it helps hello giveing a grown mouse water is easy all you have to do is either put water is a small bowl which i wouldn't do because there is osmething better to feed your mice water with and that is a dripper but they can onlt though cling onto the cage or hang from the cage so it's really up two you which method you use hope it helps
Sure, but don't be surprised if they breed and you end up with babies.By the way if they do have babies DONT touch them(the babies and the mum) until the babies have fur otherwise you can kill the babies.
Mice and other small rodents can squeaze through all most anything u should take your cage back and ask someone who works there and tell them u need a cage 4 a mouse they will show u what kind of cage u need!
