Mice owners

[NewHopePoultry]

Are there any other mice owners on here?
I would like to meet and learn more about other mouse owners on here.

How many do you have?
Males, females or both?
What do you house them them?
What colors do you have?
What kind of toys do they have?

We don't have any mice now, but we did have some! I love those little guys, they are so sweet. Much sweeter than hamsters, they bite.

We have two mice we keep at our college apartment. They were originally lab feeder mice before my room mate yanked them from the lab as babies (She works there). Both are females and one is black and the other is brown. They were supposed to leave with our one room mate last year, but she wasn't able to take them to her new college. So now we have inherited them! They spend most of their time in the other bedroom though, so I hardly see them.

I have 4 mice all female.
One grey and white
One Gold and white
One silver curly tail (blind)
One black and white (blind)

I have them in a wire hamster cage. They have a 2 level cage and climb the bars and up and down the ramp. I have a parrot toy of rope and wood blocks that they climb and chew on. Then there's a wire cat toy ball with a bell. They also get toilet paper rolls that they play in and with and chew on. The blind ones seem to get on just fine. Mice apparently have poor eyesight anyway.

We went to an exotic animal auction this weekend and saw pygmy mice.

Holy Smokes they were small! I would like to get a pair of those.

I have about 30-40.
I house them in storage totes, 10 gallon tanks, and a Crittertrail Discovery Deluxe cage.
I have some albinos, long hair, blacks, blues, agoutis, cow mice, and brindles
Each cages has a wheel, and i give them toilet paper tubes, hay, and small boxes. I had some housed in a wire hamster cage and i strung up some rope and had a small bird swing hanging. They loved climbing and sitting on the swing. Babies kept squeezing through the bars so i had to ditch the cage. Some of my mice are pets but mostly i breed for snake food.

Few years ago the store got in some egyptian spiny mice. I wished i would have bought some because they haven't been available since then.

I would love to have deer mice. I saved one youngin from my cat and raised him up. I managed to save a female and that night she ate a hole in the cage and i lost both mice.

A petstore near me had egyptian spiny mice for $3, plus it was buy 1 get 1 free.
I havent seen pygmy mice near me though.
