Re: oopps........

does look like she has some weight to the back end, many WC females are gravid this time of year, depending on how gravid she is that might of been the shed they have about a week before they give birth, also how long is she? doesnt look that long

Re: oopps........

Well, get prepared just in case... you know, towels, hot water, lamaze classes, and see what happens! You may get a crash course in raising babies!!

yeah.... i forgot to weigh her and i just fed her.... so i'll have to wait a few days...... she is 20 in long....... actually it's really funny...... i fed them in one of those cages with the devider and my baby boy was trying to get over to her.... he has never been so excited before!!!! and what's really funny is that his mom was right next to him (as always) and he didn't even care about her (as always)!!!! LOL but i guess my baby boy is not such a baby anymore!!!!!

Re: oopps........

so does anyone have any info that would help me out??? last time i put 10 of the babies in a kritter keeper and the other 8 (my friends and siblings and my favorits) in 4 different tupperwear containers with holes drilled in them..... then we placed all 5 of the cages on top of the mothers cage under the lamp...... but i didn't know about temp gradient so they were all basically the same temp everywhere...... so you guys put your kritter keeper inside the mothers' cage????? but i only have a 20 gal....... any info to make things better than last time is helpful!!!

EDIT: o yeah i forgot.... what about the mom??? anything diff have to be done w/ her??? i've been feeding her 3 mice a week
(well i would be feeding them all 2x a week.... but you said that that was too much.....)
but does her temp have to be raised or her humidity???? ANYTHING??????

Re: oopps........

nothing needs to be changed, r u positive shes gravid?, might wana put her in a different cage with lots of hides so the babies can hide, also if you want a cheap baby cage get one of those plastic iris, sterilite, or rubbermaid tubs with a heat pad

Re: oopps........

depends on how many babies, since shes not that big and probaly wont ave a ton of babies, i would say a 27 quart sterilite tub or 30 qt iris tub, the iris ones last longer
