How to Tell if a Mouse Has Babies
Baby Bump. One of the most obvious indicators of pregnancy is a bulge in the center of the female mouse’s body and enlarged nipples, which typically are visible by day 14. Your mouse will develop a more pear-shaped appearance.
The charming, curious and social domestic mouse has been kept as a pet for centuries, according to the ASPCA. Thanks to her prolific breeding ability, the mouse population is distributed throughout the world. A female mouse will typically give birth to 42 to 60 offspring per year with five to seven mice in each litter. Gestation generally lasts 19 to 21 days. Knowing how to tell when your mouse is pregnant can give you time to prepare.

All Plugged Up
After mating, the male mouse leaves excess semen at the opening of the female’s vagina, which creates a hard white plug. This “plug” is nature’s way of preventing other males from mating with her. If you examine your mouse’s vulva area, the plug is usually visible. The plug will typically remain in place for 16 to 24 hours after mating, but can remain in place for up to 48 hours. When the plug is expelled, you might find it in your mouse’s cage, which is a sign that she could be pregnant.
Preparing for the Little Ones
To prepare for the arrival of her offspring, the pregnant mouse will begin building a nest around five to 14 days before giving birth. Provide her with a nesting box that’s large enough for her and the babies, such as an empty tissue box. You can also leave material in her cage so she can construct her own nest, such as shredded paper, cloth, string, plants, burlap or other soft material. She’ll use the material to create a loose ball around 4 inches wide, typically on top of one of her toys or in a corner of the cage.
Baby Bump
One of the most obvious indicators of pregnancy is a bulge in the center of the female mouse’s body and enlarged nipples, which typically are visible by day 14. Your mouse will develop a more pear-shaped appearance. The exact day that a larger abdomen becomes visually apparent is dependent on the number of fetuses the female is carrying, her age and if she’s previously given birth. Older females with past pregnancies might not develop noticeably larger abdomens, particularly if they’re carrying small litters. Remove any toys from the cage that might cause the pregnant mouse to fall and injure herself or the developing babies, such as ladders and ramps.
The Happy Day
Mice are social creatures and take better care of their offspring when they’re surrounded with harmonious cage mates. Other females will typically help the new mother raise and care for the litter. Avoid adding new mice to the cage immediately before or after birth, as the new arrivals can cause stress to the mother. During the first day, avoid disturbing the mother and her litter. By the second day, her maternal instincts will have kicked in and she won’t become so rattled by disruptions. Keep the cage in a peaceful and well-ventilated area of your home without loud, disturbing noises.

SEPARATING GERBILS AFTER BABIES ARE BORN
By Lisa McQuerrey
i
Female gerbils reach mating maturity at approximately 9 to 12 weeks of age. They experience spontaneous ovulation and breed year-round. Male and female gerbils pair and mate for life and will co-parent their brood once babies are born.
Gerbil Gestation
A female gerbil is pregnant for approximately 25 to 30 days, after which she typically gives birth to a litter of about a half-dozen babies — though first litters are sometimes smaller. Unlike some other rodent breeds, you have no need to remove the male gerbil from the cage when the mother gives birth, as the father will actively help in the process. It is important to note, however, that as many as 85 percent of all new gerbil mothers will be ready to breed again immediately following birth, so if you don’t want an additional litter, you will have to separate the male into another habitat.
Involved Gerbil Dad
The gerbil dad will be an active participant in raising the young gerbil pups. The father will help from the time the pups are born until they reach weaning age at about 21 days. At that point, you can gradually switch the babies to a diet of commercial pellet food. You can house siblings together initially, but separate them if aggressive behavior takes place. Most gerbils do best when housed with one or more littermates of the same sex.
Prevent Unintentional Breeding
Separate gerbil littermates from their parents and from each other before they reach breeding age to guard against unintentional mating. You can differentiate the males from the females by lifting their tails and assessing the perineum distance — if the urinary opening is close to the anus, the gerbil is a female; a greater distance between the two indicates a male. You may also be able to identify testicles in males, though they are sometimes underdeveloped when the animal is young.
Separation Tips
While nest abandonment and cannibalization is rare in gerbils, it can and does happen. If the mother gerbil is unable to care for her babies, or attempts to kill them, you should separate them from her and attempt to nourish the babies with a kitten milk replacement. Contact your vet for advice on the best way to proceed if this becomes a necessity. Your vet will take into consideration the circumstances and the age and size of the babies and make recommendations for keeping babies warm and well-fed.
