Mice nesting normal?

[sirrahved]

Okay, this may be a silly question, but George never made a nest. Now I have two that are supposed to be the same sex. They've made a nest. Is this normal, or should I expect that they are expecting?

My mice always make nests. I have two girls in one cage together and they always have a nest. I also have a male mouse by himself in another cage and he too always has a nest. I don't think you have to worry. Oh, and I love the names, Porkchop and applesauce, did you get that from the Brady Bunch?

Absolutely it's from the Brady Bunch

Thanks for the shout out. I was worried. George didn't nest, so I didn't know I should expect it! I appreciate your kindness!

Most of my mice liked to nest, but not all of them. It must be personal preference.

lol, Jen, you have mice too? It's hard enough for me to just keep Pickles away from the cage (Marsha doesn't care).

hee hee
I had up to 17 mice at one time.
I am down to only one now . They live such short lives. I may not be getting any more because the fosters are keeping me pretty busy. But you never know!!!
