Ill Mouse

f d

I need help.

My mouse Peyton is about 4-5 months old now and since we bought her she has been exhibiting some odd signs. She looks and feels like she is pregnant and is 3 times the sise of her cage mates. But she can´t be pregnant, its impossible because her cage mates are girls and she has been like this for 4 months.

I have put a link on here so you can see the sise comparisent to Peyton (Big white one) and her cagemate Pash (Ginger one)

Hi Emily,

It is difficult to say whether there is a problem with Peyton or not, although she certainly is significantly larger than your other mouse. Mice are pregnant for about 3 weeks, so unless she has been in-contact with a male mouse within that time then a pregnancy seems unlikely (although are you sure all the mice she is with a female? Sometimes it can be difficult to tell.)

If she has always been like this, is bright, eating and well in herself then I wouldn´t be too concerned. However, if you are worried then you should take her to your vet for an examination and ask their opinion.
