12 Day Old Mice Pups
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 19 Apr 2013
My beautiful mice pups, born on 7/04/13. Due to open their eyes properly tomorrow, and their ears started opening today. Litter of 7, mother and grandmother were black tan, father either broken agouti or splashed (latter unlikely). They all have a lovely temperament, a couple are a bit squirmy, but nothing regular handling couldn't sort out.
If you are about to say that the way I held them is harsh, it's not. I have been holding them by their scruff since they were 3 days old, and most are extremely comfortable with it now, their father carries them like this. I handle all litters this way as it makes them less jumpy when they are adults, I find.
These pups are for sale, but I posted so that maybe people who are thinking of breeding can see how fast the little fella's grow :) There is no money to be made from breeding 'free range', simply a hobby, but its an amazing experience to watch them grow, something I hope to share with you guys!! Let me know if you want any videos explaining other things, e.g best cage options for breeding. Thanks for watching!
