Baby mouse... hand rearing

[JackieMac]

I have just registered with the forum a) because I have piggies and b) I had to see the piccies of your poor little mousie and your new arrivals. I hope they bring as much pleasure and love as your littley did.

I have just come back to this thread the last time i looked was the 15th Jan. You did a really amazing job with your little man and its very sad that as things started to look good he took a turn for the worst. Your new mousies are very cute and i am sure they will be super happy now you are a mouse expert!

Mice have huge personalities

I have just read all of this thread and cried when I read that Mousie died. But I have to day that mice are fantastic pets and I know you'll have enormous fun with the three girls.

Mice have huge personalities, way way bigger than their tiny frames would suggest. I have kept a few now and they have all been very different. As you get to know your girls you will recognise them as separate little people - you almost forget that they're mice.

Some of my mice went to school with me to the science club so that the pupils could learn about them, some I wouldn't take because the mice couldn't have handled it. They were all enormously different.

My biggest mistake was to introduce a brazil nut to a cage of five little girls - because there was suddenly a lot of food available they all came into season together and the pmt was awful! (I bet you didn't know mice could have pmt even - thay are amazing little creatures)

Wishing you and your tiny little girls all the best, I am absolutely certain that your mice will be happy and have the best of care and attention after reading your posts.
