Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
OK guys... my mice have not only NOT had babies yet (9 weeks now) but the male is getting the snot beat out of him by the female now!! Over the weekend he had some bites on his back, and this morning his ear was all bloody. Keep in mind, it's really not a space issue, they are in a 40 gallon tank with all sorts of hides, tunnels, tubes... so they can seperate as needed.
Advice? Recipes for mouse? LOL!! Do I have defective mice?? |

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
sometimes when females become pregnant and the male won't leave them alone they will beat them as you put it......lol but also they will kill them...
now I'm not saying thats going to happen,but it has happened, to me in fact............so I would maybe seperate them for awhile or something, again my opinion.................

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Ahhhh so she could be preggers. Makes sense... hormones and all... she's probably having mood swings and cravings for peanut butter and spam, and he's not getting it for her quick enough... her feet are probably swollen and her back hurts and he's wanting some... HMPH!! MEN!!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Mice can be mean! Can you put in a little divider so he'll be safer while she's cranky? I think if he can stay in there it's better than putting him in another tank, but if she gets too rough, she could kill the little guy.

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Laura, he seems no worse for wear tonite... I was going to check again in the morning and see if he has any new marks. If it looks like he does, I'll put in a divider. I'm hoping he learns to give her some space... and her crankiness wears off soon... I signed them up for some lamaze and parenting classes, so that should help them bond again.
