Hi everyone I know this is a guinea pig forum but i went to the petshop today to pickup another nero4 and there was a very pregnant mouse in there.She was huge and i had the pregnancy confirmed by the petshop that already knew, apparently her owner didnt want babies so took her to the petshop.I didnt even ask to see her, yet for me and 3 other people that were there at the time they lifted the igloo for people to look at her,each time they did this they messed up all the nest making that the mum to be had made.Not only this but they said she will give birth in the tank with 5 other mice in there:(she is not for sale until the babies are old enough but i don't know what to do she should have privacy and someone with the knowledge to deal with pregnancy help??:{
 
Sounds awful, poor little girl, no pregnant mother would appreciate being disturbed like that, and her nest uncovered - very stressful for her. Not sure what you can do about it though - perhaps suggest she's not on the shop-floor until the babies are older?

awww...sorry i haven't had mice before so don't know about them but this seems really horrible for the poor mouse.
I hope you can get through to the staff and get her off the shop floor
 
if you find the mouse scary i got even more shocked and disgusted today i went into a diff petshop and saw two tanks with buns in them males on one side and females on the other they had a wooden board that was half the height of the cage seperating them and all the buns did was mix tanks therefore babys ahhhhhh.bit scary considering some were only around 8 weeks old:(i tried to talk to them about putting a proper divider in the cage and they just said plain and simply they don't want to because they make money off it anyway.and on top of this they were in sawdust had nowhere to hide and there food bowl had tipped and knowone cared ahhhhh what do i do it seems every person surrounding me is just a breeder/not caring/abuser i can't stand it anymore btw you guys on here are the exception to all of what i just pointed out
