Question
What are the signs in Labor for in the Future And my female did Not Build a Nest for her And her babies Why??

Answer
Dear Xaziea,

Mice are very very good at having and raising babies, so there is no reason to worry about labor, etc. Don't take her out of the nest when she is near her time; and she will do the right thing. Some mice nest beforehand; others may be perfectly happy with the nest they have. When the babies are born, don't disturb the nest for a week.

Squeaks n giggles,
