QUESTION: i don't really know now i think she is big because i took out there exercise wheel. the male has gotten fat too. so i real by don't know if she is pregnant or not.
ANSWER: If there is a male in there with her, the chances are good that she is pregnant or will be shortly. Please look at the website that I mentioned. If you still don't know, then I suggest that you prepare just as if she were pregnant. A male and female mouse should not be together. They produce a lot of babies who could very well wind up as snake food if you give them to a petshop. I also suggest that you talk to a vet. All animals should have vet care no matter how tiny.

Answer
Breeding is something that should not be taken lightly. Do you have a home for all of the babies once they are born? Do you know that sometimes the moms eat the babies if they are disturbed? Please join this Board:
