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.
No! Any male mouse or rat will eat any mouse babies. dont let male mice with babies until they can see and have fur!
Not really... the male mouse will probably mate with her shortly after she gives birth and this can put stress on the mother, and could cause her to eat her babies.
he may kill and eat the babies... May..
It is normal for a mouse to have 10-12 babies. My mouse had 10. The most babies a mouse has reportedly had is 17.
no they will fight, and some babies may die.
this is a rare ocurance but does happen i would take them to the vets to check for desises on the mother and babies just to check they arnt contaminated and if not then just rasisem like you would domesticted mice.
Is the male still in the cage with them? She will go right into heat again if there are no babies...lose the male!
Yes, you can, but the babies should be at least 3 days old before you do, & mum should have been left alone with them for 3 days prior without being disturbed. Try to move the entire nest, not just mum & babies, as that way there will be a familiar smell for them to lessen the stress.
babies
You might be able to foster the babies with another nursing mouse, or even a female mouse who isn't nursing--mice are able to lactate when needed, but it might take awhile for that to kick in. You might have to foster the babies yourself. This site will tell you more: http://www.thefunmouse.com/info/orphanedmice.cfm.
TAKE IT TO A VET!!!!!
Yes, mice can have 2-14 babies. But when you breed, you usually get 4,5,6,7 babies. In rare cases, a mother mouse can have up to 20 babies!
