My husband and I are breeding mice for our three ball pythons. We have done research and bought books, but we can’t find anything on putting two pregnant mice together. One mouse was pregnant so we separated the male and one female from the mommy-to-be. Now the other female is pregnant and the babies from the first female are almost two weeks old.
Can we put them together without either mother killing the others babies?
And at what age can the babies be put in with the male safely to continue breeding?
Thanks.
no
I wouldn’t keep two pregnant females together if it were me. Stress causes rodents to eat their babies. My brother’s hamster ate every single one of her babies. I think if the two females were caged together it would cause stress and they could fight in belief they are protecting their babies. Its best to keep them in a quiet place, a towel covering their cage, and caged separately.
I know that if it’s guinea pigs due at different times then when one sees the other one giving birth they might start too. On the other hand, my brother and I had our mice together when they were pregnant and they were fine…
If you are going to feed them to yuor other pets anyway then I guess it doesn’t really matter.
