Thanks everyone! She's a rescue more or less. I fished her out of the feeder mouse tank at the pet store. I know you can't rescue all the feeders, but if I can help out one tiny mouse, I will. She's spoiled too, she has a 30 gallon tank and enough food to feed an army....of mice. I can freeze the food, that's not a problem. I used to have rats, and I was used to making enough for 5 or 6 rats, for a few weeks. After I got it mixed, I couldn't believe I had made that much. She was in a cage with mixed genders, and it looks like we're going to have an army of mice of our own in a few days. Poor thing was tiny when I got her, too young to get pregnant if you ask me. Hopefully her instincts will kick in and she'll be a good mother. I'm going to keep all the females with her, and if I can't find good pet homes for the males, I'll keep them too.
Isn't it infuriating how pet stores keep small animals? I got my daughter a hamster a few years ago for the same reason- she was in a cage with a few other hamsters. Now, hamsters are NOT social animals, and she was a little beat up, as well as pregnant. I thought she was just a chubby hammie
I ended up keeping one of her babies, who can resist a baby hamster?
Good luck with your mousey- does she have a name?- and her wee ones to come :rainbow:
Darn it I still can't see it, even in the link. I wonder what is wrong with my comp that I can't see that one photo. I can always see everyone's photos.
Well anyway that's great that you saved the little thing and it sounds like she is a very lucky girl with her big living space and lots of food!!
Dawn it's an adorable photo!!!! I'm glad I can finally see it, thank you for trying so hard!! The little mouse looks like he's looking over the grand canyon filled with mouse food or something!
