female mice

I am new to owning mice. I bought 4 females about 3 weeks ago and I just bought 2 new ones 5 days ago. They are in a quarantine tank for the time being. I have noticed that one has started mounting the other. The one that is doing the mounting does not have any visiable signs of being a male...

Hi! Alright, I have been pondering this for a long time, and have finally decided to really do some good research. I have previously owned rats and gerbils, but never mice. I have always wanted to though. Before I make that commitment though, I need to ask a few questions to see if I would...

Hey everyone. I'm a brand new mouse owner, but she's very shy. I've been trying to get her used to me by petting her with my finger while she's on her wheel. What else can I do to get her to butter up to me? Thanks. I wish I could take some pics, but my cameras' broken. :(

My dad doesn't like having pets in the house; it's alright with him if they're outside. (ex. my dog and cat, my only 2 pets). What he doesn't like, though, is if there is a domesticated animal in the house. How freaky is that?!?!?! My mom doesn't mind having small pets in the house (rodents...

about two weeks ago i picked up a black and white mouse, female. a day later i then picked up another two female mice, a suitable cage, bedding, etc. this past weekend (saturday) i cleaned their cage and all the mice looked and where acting fine. just a minute ago i noticed that one of my mice...

So I wanted to make little mice babies and I think it has started but I'm just not sure. I know that she is supposed to have like a little plug on her "area" but I don't see it. BUT she looks a little bit bigger than she did last week. Any ideas??? ? #2: Will the boy mouse keep trying to...

Hi, I'm going to be getting three domestic mice shortly to do a science project for a scholarship. Don't worry this isn't one of those awful laboratory things where the animals are horribly treated. No, I'm a pet lover too so they are going to be treated just as well as my three precious dogs...

Hey, I have always been an animal lover, particularly in reference to dogs, but they are not the reason I am now on this forum. My three dogs Beau (mine), Cream and Wolfie (my two sisters') are our adorable little litter mates and our 21 hens and rooster (Derby) are extremely funny, but the...

I did a bad thing today. I came home with a mouse. I had sworn myself off of rodents, because as much as I love them, my mom hates them, and since I still live at home, I try to respect her, within reason, lol. But today, I was at work, and I guess someone had brought in a mouse that they didn't...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. Currently I have 2 female mice that I keep together in a Habitrail cage. Their names are: "Winnie" and "Tum Tum". I just got them two weeks ago and I just love them! I also have 1- 55 gallon tank with tropical fish, 1- 5 gallon tank with a Black Moor goldfish...

Hey Every one - just thought I would ask the experts (you guys) as the local pet shop said my mice were too young to sex last week. I have definatly identified one out of the 5 as a boy - the testicles gave it away :) I have seperated him from the rest. Anyway the 4 others I think are girls -...

I was at a friend house the other day and her brother had come to vist her from college. He was doing a project on rats and he had three, they were all in horrible living conditions and were flea infested. They were never socailized properly and they smelled super bad. One was accually losing...

Would just like to introduce myself. My name is Chase, and I'm from Central California. I've got quite a few pets. I'll get around to posting photos of them all in due time. Here's the list: Fish: 7 Male, 4 female Bettas (Betta Splendens), 2 sunset Honey Gouramis, 3 Adult dwarf platies (and 13...

I have had a mouse infestation so I bought catch and release traps. I've caught 2 so far and I knew I had one more but then I discovered 4 baby mice! I can't keep them so I need to try to catch the mother so the babies won't die, but she isn't going for the same trap! What should I do now? I've...

Hello all! I've got 2 boy mice that are going to be 7 weeks old this Friday (1/18/08) and I saw one of them was mating with their room mate, a little girl about 4 months old. So my question is, is this little guy old enough to get her pregnant? I have spare cages and what not, so I'm prepared...
