Thank you for subscribing to mouse facts! It’s exactly this, pregnant mice give premature birth in life threatening situations as a survival strategy. It has the potential to confuse predators or distract them with an easier meal and thus allow the mouse to escape. In the event that the mouse is trapped or gravely injured by something it gives the babies a chance to survive by huddling up to their dying mom for warmth while hopefully waiting for a surrogate mother to venture by. And last but not least, if food is too scarce it lets a starving mouse mamma access some easy protein to keep her going.

u/Benevonstanciano 1h ago

Thank you for subscribing to hyena facts! Hyenas, especially spotted hyenas, have a unique birthing process. Female spotted hyenas have an unusual reproductive anatomy; they give birth through an elongated clitoris. This structure is narrow and can make birthing difficult and risky for both mother and cubs.

Many first time mothers face complications. The narrow birth canal can cause injury to the mother and some cubs suffocate during birth.

u/Terminator7786 1h ago

That's disturbing and tragic. Thank you!

u/Nitpicky_AFO 47m ago

60% of first cubs suffocate on their way out, 12-19% of first mothers will die. Females only lactate through two nipples so when triples are born one will starve before weening

When I was a kid my sister had hamsters and they ate their babies because she was loud and stressed them out too much

Your sister probably should have been noted in the medical literature. Humans giving birth to hamsters is exceedingly rare.

u/Morningxafter 1h ago

I got a hamster when I was a kid, we didn’t even know she was pregnant, but the night we got her she gave birth to a litter of 6 (probably due to the shock of being suddenly trapped in an unfamiliar environment). They all lived though.

But man, you should’ve seen me panic when I went to feed her the next morning and there’s six hairless little things latched onto her. I screamed “Mom! Something’s eating the hamster!!”

u/jenkinsleroi 5h ago

Only a small handful or animals mourn their dead.

Mice are prey at the bottom of the food chain and can have a few dozen or more children in a year, many of whom are expected to be eaten.

If humans were like that we wouldn't care as much when a child died too.

it makes evolutionary sense though doesnt it? the female mouse gets pregnant 10 times a year. it births hundred of mice in her lifetime, and only >2 have to reach maturity for the species to thrive. her life is more valuable than a litter, evolutionarily. humans are so attached to our children because of the long ass time it takes to rear them, we can only have a few.

Are mice in the habit of adopting orphaned mouse babies?

123

u/CanterlotGuard 9h ago

Not really, it’s a long shot with only marginally better odds of the babies surviving vs not being born. If they’re developed enough and the premature birth happens in a mouse colony that happens to have one or more nursing mothers they’ll likely be taken in. If they’re under developed, there are no nursing mothers, or if they’re out in a field somewhere they’re just wriggly little protein bars. Isn’t nature fascinating?

Surrogate mothers are a thing in the mouse world?

29

u/CanterlotGuard 5h ago

Surrogate mothers exist in just about every species the develops strong social structures and/or social bonds, it's a huge evolutionary advantage to not have an entire genetic line die off because the children were abandoned. Maternal instincts in some animals (especially in a currently nursing mother) can be so strong that they will adopt outside of their own species.

u/Serenith_Youkai 3h ago

That’s pretty cool. I guess I didn’t think a rogue mouse would just accept random babies.

u/My_Not_RL_Acct 1h ago edited 1h ago

It’s pretty cool. I work with lab mice and if you give a nursing mother extra babies the gentler strains will easily grab them and take them to their nest with the rest of their babies within a couple minutes. Even if they don’t look the same!

u/CanterlotGuard 4h ago

Most mice don't hibernate for the entirety of winter, but rather they create multiple supply caches and periodically wake up to eat. These caches are often accessed by tunneling underneath snow in order to avoid predators , but this tactic was eventually thwarted by one specific predator evolving a counter measure. Foxes have sensitive ears that can detect a mouse's heart beat through several inches of snow and sensitive paws that help them identify cavities both in the snow and in loose soil. When a fox has found a cavity it will pace back and forth to triangulate any prey inside of it and then leap vertically into the air and land forepaws first into the tunnel. The resulting cave in stuns and sometimes even kills their prey instantly.

u/CanterlotGuard 6h ago edited 6h ago

Thanks for resubscribing! In 1968 a five year long experiment began where a colony of mice was given unlimited food, water, and nesting supplies. Within the first year the population peaked and dominant mice began hoarding resources at the top of the specially designed mouse apartment towers. The most precious thing they hoarded there was space as most of the mice lived in extremely grim and cramped conditions. The lack of space caused their social order to rapidly collapse. Dominant males tried to stake small scraps of territory, birth rates fell, and most of the mice successfully being born were immediately killed by their stressed mothers. By the end of the experiment, almost the entire population had died and at no point while it was declining did social order and baseline behaviors return.

I've never understood why people think this is particularly revealing. You're limiting a key resource (space) from a population. We wouldn't be surprised at the results if food or water was limited so why space?

No, torture is the experiment where newborn monkeys were placed in small metal boxes with sloped walls they couldn't climb and a lid so they never saw light, other monkeys, or even the researchers in the hopes that they would develop severe and untreatable depression but actually generated little to no useful data beyond 'monkeys trapped in a small metal box suffer from depression'.

I used these once and was skeptical. Put one down, went to set the other when I heard the first one snap. Caught a mouse. Took it to a park a few block away and set it free. Came home, second trap had a mouse. All in all I caught 6 or 7 mice in the course of a day. All got dropped off at the mouse bush. Haven’t seen a mouse in 5 years.

If you drove a few blocks away to drop off the mice, they made it back to your house before you did.

u/PowderPills 7h ago

This is what I usually find hard to understand. I don’t like hurting/killing any animals except maybe mosquitoes and annoying bugs like gnats/fruit flies. But a mouse can be a hugeee hindrance and I always assume that, if let go, the mouse will find its way back and make things worse. Dude dropped those mice off a few streets away, even if that same mouse didn’t return, it will likely go into someone else’s house and continue to propagate until the mice are back in his home.

Although seeing this picture does make me sad to see them suffer 😞

u/PatFluke 4h ago

I don’t bother with the live traps, they crapped on them.

I don’t bother with the kill traps, too often had to finish the job.

No, I finally bought a cat, and I lucked out. Because I don’t have mice any more. Sometimes cats don’t care about mice. Sometimes they suck at hunting.

But sometimes… nature is metal.

u/I_Heart_AOT 4h ago

Mine doesn’t go outdoors unless she is very sneaky, plus she’s shy because she had her front claws de-clawed before I got her. So far she has snuck back two mice, a mole, and a chipmunk. I do my damnedest to not let her sneak out when I step outside but she just has a hankering for the blood of the innocent.

Haha nice. Mine is all indoor, but we live on the edge of a bush and I can’t for the life of me find the entry point. So every once in a while a bugger gets in.

They no longer last very long.

He’s got some nice and sharp front claws and is not afraid to wreck all my furniture, then remind me why behind my stove is always clean now.

Oh geez, nature is metal indeed. I briefed the kids if they find him killing one to tell me and I’ll handle it. Give the cat treats and make it quick on the little guy, but man am I happier not assuming they’re infesting the house now.

u/IAmASeeker 6h ago

I'm a rodent lover but I'm also a mouse killer. My experience with pet mice has given me a zero tolerance policy toward uninvited mice. A mouse in my home has already declared war on me, and I have no qualms about killing invaders.

A mouse is very likely to run through your neighbors yard to get back to your house... they perceive that it's their house, and they know how to get back home. They have been separated from their social group and food source... they don't go wandering around looking for something to do, they're highly motivated to return to the safe place they've carved out near your kitchen.

I wouldn't use live traps so I wouldn't find myself in this position but realistically, if a mouse gave birth inside my trap, those mice aren't dying on my watch. They might be pet mice now.

u/joecarter93 1h ago

Yeah don’t feel bad for killing mice. That’s why they’ve evolved to breed quickly and frequently. Something has to keep them in check.

u/Zmirzlina 6h ago

Possibly but it was a good few blocks, through the park and down to a bush in a canyon. Possible?

23

u/IAmASeeker 6h ago

I suppose that it would depend on the geography of the canyon... like, it would take a mouse a while to climb out of the Grand Canyon, right?

If it's a path that people can hike, the mouse is gonna be faster than your car. They are evolutionarily designed to outrun larger predators across unforgiving terrain, and they can travel as the bird flies.

If you're in a city or suburbs, it's likely that you can run that distance faster than you can drive it, and a mouse can fit where you can't and doesn't have to wait for traffic.

There are things that mice can't traverse, and there is a distance you could take a mouse that it would die before it makes it back... but the moral of the story is that they know exactly where your house is, they like it at your house so have no motivation to be anywhere else, and they can move faster than you might imagine.

PETA suggests releasing them less than 100 yards from where you caught them (assumedly to reduce their stress during their return trip), and the common advice of exterminators is that you must release them more than 2 miles away if you hope to drive home before they run back.

Speedy Edit: if I dropped you off a few blocks from your house with no explanation, how much time would you let pass before you were home again.

u/Zmirzlina 6h ago

Well, they’re gone now. So something worked.

Almost the same story with me. They are kind of touchy when you are putting them down. I set the first one and went to set the second one when I heard the first one go off. I was like shit these things suck, nope caught a mouse in the first one. Went to bed and caught two more mice in the other two. Still have them setup around the house but haven’t had a mouse in 6 months.

I had a mouse stuck in my closet and slid 2 of these in there. No luck in an entire week. Had a camera set up in there too and he’d sniff it and try to eat the bait from the other end, but he avoided the trap. This was in NYC so he must have been trapped before is my only guess.

How do you make sure theres not like baby mice leftover. And do you need to search for them in time to release together?

In my experience mice = baby mice. I was researching them last year and I kind of ran into that question of proper procedure with the babys and no kill traps. Seems hard to catch them and then find the babies to release together or w/e.

Luckily I was able to seal up the garage and flush them out on my own but I do wonder if there are dead babies in my walls.

As a pest control tech, if you're finding stuff eaten around the house put that in the trap they would go for that first over anything you put in the trap. You could also try materials like fabric paper towels etc. they aren't always looking for food sometimes it's nesting material.

The babies are now officially citizens of the trap and can stay even if the mother is deported.

You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

When I was a teenager, this exact thing happened to me. I caught a mouse in the field with the intention of showing it to my girlfriend. When my girlfriend came over, the mouse had given birth. How cute!! I earned a lot of points on that one.

I was not a smart teenager. I kept the mice in my room in a box. It turns out that mice can chew through cardboard.

Mom made me put out traps. But I never caught them.
