Hey Scott,

Thanks for that info. I am curious, did you see any actual copulation?

I have been hesitant to say, but my female appears to be in the same condition as yours. I did not witness copulation, but I did walk in on the male right by her with his spurs very extended. It gave me hope.

The female went off-feed in October and it was the first time in 8 years she has gone off feed. After multiple attempts to feed her again, she just checked out the F/T mouse and then turned away. There is noticeable swelling in her posterior 1/3, and I can see that it is lumpy in that area.

I am hopeful, but not entirely sure if things are going to work out for babies, but I sure am hoping!
