Here is a picture of a 2 week pregnant mouse. I cant get a picture of Ditzy Doo because the sound annoys her.
A mouse normally has 6-8 babies but can have up to 20. I breed mice to study their genetics. I get a discount on them because im a student and I get to sell the colored ones back for...
Well, its about time! She is at 22 days and looks like she has swallowed a golf ball. :clap Now to play the waiting game. I am probably the worst waiter in the world, so this is going to seem like forever. :th Anyways, I hope Ditzy Doo gives birth safely. :fl She is white and was bred to a black...
breed hamsters and have 6 . 4 Syrians and 2 Roborovski. One thing I found out it that hamsters LOVE Papaya. They also enjoy raspberries. Check out this link for more info on taming hamsters. http://www.hamstercentral.com/wiki/Taming_tips
As for toys, I make mini envelopes and put treats in them...
Thank you so much! I am starting a 4-H club for pocket pets and there is some wonderful info in the links you provided! Do you mind if I use some of it for curriculum?
Well, I have been taking pictures for a while and have just started to really enjoy it. I am going to start uploading some pictures I take, I hope you like them! I have a huge Easter photoshoot using my rabbits coming up, so I should have lots of pictures from that as my aunt always lets me try...
Here are some of my hamsters. Dont ask why some are in a shoe, it was my failed attempt at creativity. :rolleyes:
Itty Bitty Twinkie Pinkie the Robo
Sweetie Bell the Syrian
and Applebloom the Syian
I learned that the hard way. Mice from petsmart are BAD. Is it normal for them to eat their mate whole? A full grown mouse-gone-all but its decapitated head. :sick
Has anyone here heard of breeding rodents or rodent shows? I am just starting to get into breeding fancy mice and hamsters and I was wondering if any one here knows anything about this.
I have been having a really hard time lately and am sad to announce I am probably going to hold off with the rabbits for a while. I lost all the kits and my only doe who will actually conceive's uterus prolapsed. I am living with my father now and have been in the hospital for the past week...
Sorry this is so late, I have been in the hospital. But here are the results! I am only judging on how the animals are posed and look in the pictures.

Thanks to everyone who entered!!! :D
Finally got to see them and here is what I got:
3 viable kits, 1 peanut (gone). 2 out of the 3 were black, the last was blue. Out of 17 babies (counting the DOAs and peanuts) this is the first blue she has had. Yay! I love genetics.
After 4 months of failed breeding, we finally have kits! I am not at home, so I only know from my mother's report that she had 4 live kits and 1 still born. She said that "they are all big." So I am hoping no peanuts. I am so happy that I bred Suka before I sold him!
I (hopefully) have 3...
After 4 months of trying (and failing) to breed at least 4 different does, one finally took and we now have kits! There are four (one is possibly a peanut.) I am not at home right now, so I had to have my mom count, but I will get pictures tomorrow and update on the colors. I am so excited! I...
