= ^ ~ ^ = Strange Mouse behaviour

[Toky-Ohki]

You know I told you girls how Fat my black Fancy mouser girl Nejad was , well I purchased her way back on the 22nd of July.

On giving Nejad to my cousin Beverley back in late September she said " Is she pregnant " . Now I am pretty sure that Wilga is a Female too but Nejad just seems to keep Balooning up.

And tonight Nejad she is making constant grunting noises.

I dont know what to think , how long is the normal Gestwotzit period for a Fancy mouse.

I am still pretty sure she is'nt up the duff but I cant explain why she is so chubby and grunting so much. She always seems to be at the food bowl too.

Gestation period in mice is 21 days. There are some mice (yellows and brindles) that are genetically prone to fatness, but a black one can't carry those genes, so it's probably not it. Maybe she just likes to eat a lot? You'll notice an adult male mouse... their male parts are quite noticeable.

Are you sure the other mouse is a female???

I am pretty sure Wiga is a female , I know Moog before he made his second bid for freedom was obviously a male.

Yes maybe Nejad just likes to eat then.

At the time I did seperate them for a couple of hours , but Wilga the smaller mouse got very upset and started searching the entire inside of the Hamster cage.

And funnily enough was taken an unusual interest in me for a Semi wild deer mouse , so I ended up putting Nejad back in with her.

I dont think their is any possibility sh is pregnant.

I just could'nt explain the racket she was making.

She could just be fat then.

My mouse ~Misty~ is really fat.I now have her in a cage alone for a little bit because she is on a diet.My other three mice are sleek and fit.

Too many sunflower seeds???? Hehehe.
