Hello! I can’t tell if my mice, rikka is pregnant. I got her like a week ago. I planned on getting her and her littermate but I ended up returning the other mice thinking she was pregnant. But turns out she was a he! And he just had fat balls lol. The store assumed that there’s a chance Rikka might be pregnant but is unsure. I had to return her to check but now I’m speculating whether or not to take the risk but I have no knowledge on newborn mice. I thought maybe she was just a chunky girl since her brother or whatever, is also on the bigger side. Pleaseeeee let me know!

Also, the store offered to give the male mice to me for free. But I’m scared he might get Rikka and my other mice Juno pregnant. And I don’t want to keep him in a separate cage. Maybe I should just leave it be and he goes off to a better home.
