None of those mice seem to have seminal plugs either so it looks like they have not seena male or you would think atleast one would be pregnant.
Can someone sex my mice?

they all have the girly holes, all are girls. girls have a hole behind their doodle looking thing, boys dont have that.

not true... in the same way i have nipples... so do males in almost all mammal species.... the female nipples in mice however do develope earlier and are more prominant....

2,5 and 6 look male but it's hard to tell cause their tails are up over their heads. sit them on your hand and relax their tail. if you see two huge jajoombas then it's a boy. they are not hard to sex

What Nagini said is correct although she should have been more specific, only females have visible nipples, males do have them, but they are barely visible

i dont wanna go on a rank here.... but i have had several males that have had clearly visible nipples.. and another of my family members that also breeds mice has mis-sexed many mice by thinking "only girls hav nipples u can see"

Fair enough, I always thought it was pretty reliable from sexing hundreds this way

i'd bloody wanna be! Been breeding for 7 years! when in doubt I always relax their tails. more developed males when picked up have wrinkles (the jajoomba sacks). the photo's weren't too good for me to see but I sit the mice on my hand and check them that way if I can't tell with a glance

maybe its just the strain/strains you've work with... but i can assure u its not a 100% accurate way to sex mice.. like has been suggested...

Yeah I never use it as a sole way to sex them, but it definitely helps

Have you tried sexing them like people have said? Tail relaxed in your hand, in a plastic container viewed from the bottom?
If you are still not satisfied you can see any balls take them back and yes you should definately check for balls before bringing the next lot home.
Seriously though my males Jatz Crackers drag on the ground they are so big so you really shouldnt have too many issues seeing them in the shops cages.
Does this help
from what i am looking at ALL have a Urethral Orifice so all girls.
