Mice/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions about fancy mice and about exotic mouse species such as spiny mice, striped mice, natal rats, gerbil/jird species. I can give advice on housing, feeding, building toys, taming, introducing mice and behaviour, but I cannot answer questions on breeding and health questions. Please see a rodent vet with your mouse ASAP if you suspect it's sick.
Experience in the area
I keep or have kept fancy mice, spiny mice, Mongolian gerbils, Naked-soled gerbils and bushy-tailed jirds and I foster fancy mice as well as exotic rodents for a rodent rescue organisation.

Dear Lisa, I'm glad to hear that she's already producing milk. In that case, you can probably leave everything to her. Keep an eye on the baby to make sure it gets enough milk, though, and if it doesn't
