 Newborn mouse stuck to newspaper piece

so my mouse just gave birth today, and one of her babies’ back is stuck to a piece of newspaper, and it doesn’t look like it’s coming off.

Is the momma gonna be able to get it off? Should I do something?

Just leave them alone. The mom will take care of him. And even if she can’t help that one it’s better to just lose him than upset her by doing something and losing all of them.

Congratulations, though. I’m still really excited about mine, although I’ve refrained from looking at them since yesterday. :P Out of curiosity, how many did you end up with? I got 11. :)

I got 10.. I thought it was 9 earlier but I guess 1 was hiding. Congrats on your litter too ^.^
I’m actually getting my first baby corn this Sunday at a reptile show, so I’ll be harvesting pinkies tomorrow :D

Cool! Can’t wait to see pictures of him/her! Lucky... I have to wait for my mice to grow. My snakes are much too big to eat pinkies. And I think it’s 11. I counted really fast because I didn’t want to bother the mom. I guess I’ll know for sure here in a of couple weeks. :P
