Details

The day the plug is detected is considered day 0. For gestational days 0 through 10, mating is confirmed by presence of a copulation plug; for gestational days 11 to 15, pregnancy can be confirmed by palpation. Not all pregnancies are expected to be maintained. The average success rate varies by strain and can vary naturally within a given strain. To help ensure that pregnant mice do not deliver litters during shipment, we do not ship females after gestational day 15.

Due to natural variation, there is no guarantee for the exact date of birth or number of pups per litter. See our policies on cancellations, changes to orders, and credits for more information.

Cancellations, suspensions, and changes to timed pregnant female orders are subject to a cancellation fee up to the full amount of the order.
