find a mice forum?
Depending on age and number of births, mother may not want to be a mom anymore. You might want to pick out another younger mother. I don't do mice, but hamsters do the same from time to time. They just get to a point you can't use them to breed anymore. Pick a new mom and toss that one to the snake![]()
may be like rabbits some females just don't make good mothers and if you disturb them they eat babies they need time to adjust
It's natural.
It could be because the mother mouse needs proteins. Also, the babies could be sick.Mother mice usually do this if they feel that the environment is unsafe for their babies, or sometimes first time mothers will do it if they feel unprepared to take care of a litter. Next time, provide a safe hiding place for the pregnant mom where she can nest, like a box in the corner of the cage or just a darkened room. Then, leave the mom and babies alone for two or three days after birth. When you want to check the babies, move the mom out first and put her in a separate cage or a roll ball, rub your hands in the litter, and then check the babies. This way the mom won't be upset when you put her back.
If the mama mouse is very tame and trusts you, that might not be necessary, but better safe than sorry.
So dude you trying to "Save" her babies and thus playing god you're actually making her feel more uncomfortable. We know you have good intentions, but she doesn't.
hooray!
what's his/her name?
squidge would be a nice name for a mouse.
hehe. sorry.
Speaking of naming pets. I'm from a country area where everyone knows each other and one day I gave a lift to this man around 80 years old and he was telling me about his dog. So I asked him what he named him and he said spot. Joking I asked why did you name him spot? The old man turns around and says Because he has none. I'll never forget that old guy. Cool as a cucumber. never laughed so much.
