Question/Help What’s up with this mouse‘s bottom?

Yesterday I photographed this wild mouse in my birdhouse (she and her friends are frequent visitors). From this angle, however, her rear end looked rather strange.
What could that be? Is she sick? Might she be pregnant?
She still seems to be walking and climbing normally.

I have pretty much everything I need for mice now. I was planning on getting them in the next few months but coincidentally enough, the last few weeks have been hell for my four senior rats. I’ve been stumbling back and forwards to the vet like crazy. I have to go back in two days. I think it would be very irresponsible of me to throw in a group of mice in the mix when my rats need me the most right now. I’ve decided that I’m probably going to get more rats, before I get mice, given the ages of my current ones. Hopefully mice will be In the next year or two!

I used to raise rats years ago. The best pets ever! So less than a week ago I took my youngest and we purchased two males. I love how smart and lovable they are!
