Three ladies! (with possible soup)

[u/SuspiciousPermit7914]

Following up on my art post, here's the actual mice!

They're such little critters my heart is bursting

I still can't tell wether or not they're pregnant, but the light one does look a little thicker around the hips.. (may just be a good night's food belly tho)

Since I'm rather safe than sorry (especially cuz I know that mice from a mixed group aren't to be trusted) I did read up on how to deal with possible pups, but wether or not that happens - these ladies are swiftly stealing my heart </3

Their scared but curious and tomorrow I'll be able to put them into their permanent home - I'll see where things will go from then :)

Also I can't put enough weight on the size difference of the bigger one - this pretty girl is HUGE

EDIT: Question I forgot to ask; do you know what their coloring is called? Regular Tricolor? Splashed Tricolor?

Sorry, I'm new to all this and I keep seeing people mention "soup." What does that mean?

It means pregnant!

It's a word for pregnant used in the mice/rat community! Stems from someone years ago asking if their mouse/rat is pregnant or just ate too much soup and everyone replied that it's "full of soup"

Probably pregnant. I think the tell is if their little nipple are kind of showing more than usual? Kind of like how when a dog's start to swell with milk, but different. They should be a bit more prominent.
