that is a problem. It isn't that uncommon for the labor to stop, but it generally picks up again before a day has passed. Can you tell if the babies are alive? I would recommend calling a vet, because if they're blocked she and all of the babies are going to die.
:we have a pregnant mouse - only, she had three babies a couple of
:days ago. she's STILL pregnant though. when we pick her up we can
:feel the little babies inside her. what can we do? i think it's
:because of trama - she was from a pet store in the "common" mouse
:cage, And i think they took all of her babies every time she had
:them. she will literally shove our fingers away from her babies!
:what can we do about the ones she won't have? is it stress? is there
:something we can give her? she's a very sweet mouse, and we don't
:want to lose her. any help is appreciated.
:thanks,
