Days 7, 8, and 9

More pics on the mouse photos page!!

Day 7

I don't see too much of a difference between days 6 and 7, except that they're getting more fur. They kinda look like they're covered in really fine velvet. The tails and whiskers are getting longer now, but they're still just little babies that spend most of their time sleeping.

Day 8

Well, size wise they don't seem to be changing much, but they are getting less pink and more white, the hair is getting a little bit thicker now. They become a little bit more active each day, but for the most part they just wanna sleep and eat. Tuesday has given up on keeping them from me all together. She's not even interested in taking them from my hands, she just waits until I put them back in the nest. Oh, and she spends a bit more time sleeping outside the nest, but I don't blame her, I'd be needing some alone time if I had 9 newborns crying for food!!

Day 9

Today I can tell the sexes apart!! Looks like I've got 3 boys and 6 girls as far as I can tell. Some of the girls aren't as developed as others, some definatly have nipples showing, some just have little tiny dots, so its hard to tell, and they don't exactly like to be held upsidedown while you search for nipples, but I think I've got it right. They are getting more hair, it seems that they will all be grey and white, no black and whites, like I was expecting. They are much more mobile today, its harder to get good pics because they're pushing and shoving and squirming all over the place!!
