Babies were born December 30th .Mother is pumpkin orange and father is black. The colors of the babies are solid black or white with spots. If you want them for pets I prefer to give you mice in pairs as they are social animals and don't like to be alone. I prefer to give you females for pets. The males have more of a musky odor and smell more than your average pet. If you want mice for feeders for your reptile then I prefer to give you males . It's your choice though.
