Aww, how cute! Mom and the nanny (I'm assuming?) are pretty mice. Hope the babies grow up big and healthy! But in the future, you're not supposed to disturb mom or look at the babies at all until the third day, even just to peek.

That isn't true. If your mice are comfortable with you, you can look immediately after the birth, or even during. I have been breeding show mice for nearly 2 years and I never have a problem looking at, and even holding, the babies as soon as they are born.

You can't believe everything you read on the internet, I suppose. 

Very cute! i have a rescued gal due anyday now.

In the second picture, one of the babies looks VERY pale. Don't be surprised if it doesn't make it. My rat had 10 babies (21 days ago), and the 1 that died looked just like that.

I know what you mean when it comes to restricting free thinking. Ive been part of alot of forums for different animals and thats one thing ive learnt alot. Ive learnt to read between the lines, take everything with a grain of salt and in the end you tend to learn what is truth and what is mith and what can be an in between.

Like ive been told by alot of people that male mice will fight, yet i had a cage with males for a long time(Non related) and they never ever fought and actually enjoyed each others company. I found them snuggling in their hut often.Sadlly had to get rid of them when i moved out of province to be with my boyfriend. I miss those little guys..

Well see in a few days how the pinkys are doing . Cant wait for them to start developing traits. hopefully i get some solid golden colored ones like their dad.

I didnt take it like that at all. I was just speaking in general terms! I tottally took it in a you just trying to be helpfull in case i DIDNT know anything. Its the internet. No one knows who everyone is and what kind of experience they have.

And yes of course i will . I cant wait for them to get fur and start showing their colors.

and by the way i love your name. Everytime i see it i think of Amaranth the song by nightwish lol

glad to see another "True" nightwish lover ^.^ ive been listening to them since i was 15-16(Im now 21) and they still give me the chills when i listen to them. nightwish forever ^.^.

I cant wait to see fur on those little naked bodies lol. their so cute to listen to. the little squeaks

Awww congrats on the lil pink jelly beans 

The Fun Mouse is not anywhere I'd want to get mouse information, and that's all I have to say about that.

As for babies...adorable!!! Update 

I handle mine from day one as well, and I handle them a lot. Well, handled, no more mice for me for a good while. My youngest 3 have a 1-year birthday coming up.

theres only 7 left. heres some photos of them i took a few days ago. starting to color up. one looks nice and dark. im HOPING that one of them adleast is solid gold like their dad.

the whole colony seems to take care of the babys.

I dont think their eyes are open quite just yet but they are starting to look like they have just a tiny itty bitty bit of fuz

might be . I just cant wait to see what colors the "lighter" ones are going to be. I really hope i get gold females so i can keep them in with the females.

They certainly are adorable! How old are they now?
