Need Advice For My Pet Mice. =]

Well I have two pet mice. A girl and a boy. The girl is pregnant, I'm pretty sure. And I've been to a few different pet shops, But they've all told me different things. But what I need to know is, what do I do with the babies when their born. One lady said to separate them from the parents cause they'll eat them. And the other lady said to just keep the male away but leave the babies with the mother, and she'll look after them.

I'm not sure which one is true. Does anyone know?

Thank you. I'll take a look. Although I don't really trust some of these sites. But it could help.

i've taken care of mice and rats, keep the father away from the babies but leave them with their mum.

Wow. I made this thread ages ago. But thanks guys.

Wow they're cannibals! Has shehad the babies yet Taleee?

you have to separate just the father. i had pet mice too. the girl will take care of the babies up to a certain point. when they start walking on their own, separate the girls and boys into a cage for each baby. the girls will fight the other girls and the boys will fight the other boys. and the boys will get the girls pregnant. hope i helped!

oh yeah... DO NOT TOUCH THE BABIES. then the mommy will eat them because she will get stressed.

Well once you see a few limbs missing....

Yeah, Seperate them.
