Could my mouse be pregnant?

Hi all

I have a 14 month old female who could be pregnant. My male mice escaped
twice in the last month during the night. If they were able to get to my
female Cadbury she would be 24 days into the pregnancy or 11 days. Is it
likely she could still be pregnant after 24 days? What is the longest time
for the gestation period. Also would it be that noticable at 11 days?

Cadbury is in poor health and has a very bad skin condition she's almost
bald now and has cloudy eyes, so I don't think she can see much. So if she
did have any I don't know what their chance of survival would be. She shares
a cage with another female of a similar age.

So how long is the gestation period can it be longer than 24 days?

Not really at 11 days, she dosent 'show' until 14 or 15 days.
If she had gone 24 days, she would be the size of a grapefruit!

21 days is the norm, sometimes a bit more or less but not by much, if she
starts to swell in the next week or so, she may have been caught during the
last escape.

BTW, how can the males get into their cage?
