No she would not but it is better off to let the mother deal with the pups till the pups eyes open. If you have to touch them take a towel and rub the mother down them pick the pup up with the towel. Be sure not to leave your scent on the pup or the mother will not take care of the pup and it will die.
Type your answer here... To teach them how to hunt. Many mother predators do this
It is recommended to wait until the pups are weaned, typically around 21 days after birth, before introducing any new mice. This allows the mother to care for the pups without added stress from new introductions. Introducing new mice too soon can lead to aggressive behavior towards the pups or other adults.
Mice are born through a process called gestation, where female mice, or does, carry their developing embryos in their uterus. After a gestation period of about 19 to 21 days, the mother gives birth to a litter of baby mice, known as pups. These pups are born hairless, blind, and helpless, relying entirely on their mother for warmth and nourishment until they mature enough to open their eyes and begin to explore their environment.
I never raised mice myself, but I remember something facinating I learned at a local pet store years ago. I went into their bathroom and I saw a nursing mouse with different sized pups, so I asked the people at the pet store about it. The lady there explained that mice will nurse other mother mouse pups. However, I'm not sure how the people in the store introduced the pups to this mother mouse that weren't her own. I'm not sure what the safe method is for doing this.
You can hold the dad, but not the mom or pups. The dad should be separated from the pups but you could hold him. The mom would eat the pups if you touched them, or sometimes even her! Never touch the pups until they are old enough.
The respectable man with the pups
Mice are prolific breeders and on average have around 8-12 babies. However some mice have been known to have just 1 pup and others around 20 pups! If your planning on having mice babies or breeding your mice just be prepared for lotsa pups!!!
try to bottle feed her pups
Newborn pups: give bath in sink. Pups: give bath in sink :D
She will freak out and eat or kill her pups, or may neglect them and leave them to die. Basically, don't touch her or the babies.
She may if you touch her kids as they may have your smell and the mother will kill or eat them!
Yes. Just as long as you keep the mother with her pups,obviously. It depends on the mother dog. More specifically, on how much she trusts you. Some mother dogs will ignore puppies who have been handled by someone. It's best not to touch or move newborn pups unless it's absolutely necessary.
