I'm new to breeding mice, but what I've noticed is, just when they look like they are literally going to pop, that's when they give birth. Mine, they look like a lightbulb from above.

once you notice that she is that big. about how long do you have until they have the babies

If shes been like that for awhile now expect her to have the baby in a few days or so.Just give her some privacy and try not to disturb her much.Hope this helps.

thanks for the help.

My 2 females looked like lumpy lightbulbs (top view), like they couldn't possibily get any bigger and then they had their babies within a day. If you haven't seen the female out much, she may have had them... if you be very quiet, you can hear the babies making little squeaks.

Prior to my mice actually looking pregnant, I thought maybe I'd gotten all boys by mistake. Then, once they started looking pregnant, it was so obvious, without a doubt, just because of the size of their mid-sections.

well 1 of my mice had babies now the other two are about ready.

If you have the male in with them... he will try to breed them the day before they pop.
