How do you know the wild mouse was the father? - it's possible that her
cagemate is the father.
And you said the wild thing was a rat? - these cannot breed - it's like
trying to breed from a monkey and a rabbit! - if you are sure the wild
thing
was a rat, it wasn't *** on his mind, it was lunch, rats prey on mice and
regularly raid mice nests for food.
The colourations of the newborn mean nothing - I've bred black and brown
mice from white and grey ones - it depends on your adult mice's parents
and
grandparents' colourings.
