Harvest Mice like The Medlar House Mice, have between five and ten babies a litter and the does are only pregnant for 18 days. THAT is a lot of mice. I don't think I can keep up with that amount of reproduction!
They are very good mothers I'm told, but now and again it might be wise to engage a nurse to look after them all.
Here is Nurse Button, so called because of the pink button on top of her bonnet, which is also decorated with silk flowers and ribbon and old beads.
One of her shy little charges, sticks to her Nurse like glue.
So, she is called Velcro.
Naturally.
