Love your videos emiology

And here I was worried it looked odd on camera 🥺💕 I will be waiting eagerly for my immigrant mice 😁

@@SomethingAnimal "immigrant mice" 😂😂😂

I really feel this, I love the way Erins hair is looking rn I want mine like it....

@@madama3844 100% same

ikr??

I totally agree

Thank you 🥺💕

Oh my goodness it's so nice to see you watch other PetTubers!!

omg! although it is probably unlikely, i would LOVE to see this happen!!

I love your videos! Your channel came to my mind when I saw this video

Oh my gosh I love your channel! Your mice are the sweetest. Erin, if this is possible for you, you will fall in love with them!

males will always have visible testes if they are old enough to be sold.

as well as you may be able to spot their scent glands on their hips, not sure if females also have these but all the females ive owned didnt

@@bones1026 My male hamster from a pet shop didn't drop his testicles until he was 1.5 years old. I took "her" to the vet because I thought this lump that showed up suddenly was cancer only to be told that that is fairly common for rodent mill males. The real way to tell with Syrian hamsters is to look for nipples. Only females have nipples and you can see them from the age they grow fur.

Syrian shouldn't be together...

@@Gabrielaalvarezdogmom it was the pet store that keep them together and usually at pet stores they house Syrians before the are mature and territorial

In buying that one mice, you've enabled them to do the same thing to many more. Please never buy from pet shops! You feel like you're doing the right thing but in saving the odd one, you're giving them money so they can continue to do it as I say. The best thing to do is to never buy pets from pet shops. If everyone did that, they'd learn and never sell animals.

@sonriii2609 Id have done the same thing. Dont listen to idiotic comments. You or someone else buying the mouse, she's still being sold to someone, better your home than some idiot with an exotic snake.

I have kingsnakes. What should I feed them? 😂😂😂😂

Sadly, pretty similar here in Lithuania :(

Yes sorry I didn't mean to imply that the chain stores don't separate because as far as I know they do, just that they don't breed their animals for health or longevity :)

@@SomethingAnimal Oh no it's ok! I've seen some smaller chains in the States put all sorts of animals together in tiny cages so I totally get where you're coming from.

im in the midwest as well, and yes i agree that most of the rodents are separated female and male. but sometimes a male/female can get in the other cage by accident wether it be a confused employee or an escape artist mouse !

Sometimes the chain store here do sell pregnant animals or the animal is the opposite sex you want. Both has happened to me. A gerbil I purchased gave birth a few days after I purchased her. 1 guinea pig I purchased was supposed to be a female. It got my other two guinea pigs pregnant. The stores only go by what the breeders tell them.

@@smallpets9164 Oh yeah I don't at all doubt that it happens often. That's why I added that I always check the sex of the animal before I bring it home. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of breeders near me. There is an animal shelter, though, and now that I know more I plan to adopt from there going forward.

I guess, here!❤️

Not here 😂 but I love watching her ❤️

Oh god that sounds awful. I wouldn't want it. I just feel for you. Also props for honesty

Aww. That's really sweet. Rip your sleep schedule though.

How exciting! I have a robo and she is very sweet. What kind of hamster are you getting?

I really want a syrian hamster. I always thought they were adorable. I like robots too, they are my second favorite although ice never owned one.

I hate incorrect.

I am going to kill this device if it doesn't stop

@@leahbrower4146 you mean robo hamsters not robot hamsters right?lol

Wow! That is a LOT of mice, I'd love to have a group of female mice at some point, How 'tameable'/friendly are they? Just wondered, Obviously I'll need to do a lot more research before!

@@exla22 yes and all girls get on amazing apart from 2 so they live together then :) most are friendly, I have 2 that are skittish but it maybe down to personality :)

When you watch the whole video that’s when it put views on

Yes, I love her content and her open enclosures! :)

Me too.

Έχω ποντίκια και μου πήρε δύο εβδομάδες να βρω μαγαζί που τα πουλάει ζωντανά στην Αθήνα. Ποντίκι ούτε για δείγμα σε αγγελίες.

I don't have enough experience or knowledge to do that, but check out Emiology and Creek Valley Critters if you need some mouse channels :)

@@SomethingAnimal fantastic thank you!

she eats, drink water, and groom herself. They only place that is dirty is her bottom, but she doesn't like it when I get her or let me wipe her bottom. . Also, she never been aggressive, or bit me.

Totally!

Sadly I was late because my iphone 11 was charging! :(

Some males can get along, but that situation is the uncommon exception and not the rule which is why it's so heavily discouraged. The risk of something going seriously wrong is far more likely than things going right, I'm glad it worked for your lucky pair though :)

Mice are only pregnant for 28 days

Yes they do :)

Even in Germany it's common knowledge that *intact* males (non-neutered) cannot live with other mice, there is an extremely high risk of fighting, serious injury and death when intact males are housed together, and they would breed excessively if housed with females. However, in Germany you also have access to vets who are willing to perform neuter operations on mice (something many other countries don't have) and a neutered male can live happily in a group of females, some people may keep neutered males with other neutered males but this is debated as they can still be very territorial. Neutering males for non-medical reasons is also a controversial practice because of the risk that comes with surgery, which is why the majority of mouse communities and keepers agree that males must live alone but require a lot more time and attention for their owners. Females must always live in groups and should never live alone, which is why they're more popular pets than males. Intact males can safely be kept with female soft furred rats (a different species of mouse that fancy-mice cannot breed with) but those aren't available as pets in every country. So the only agreed reason anyone should keep a healthy mouse alone is if it's an intact male, and this is purely for the safety and wellbeing of the animal :)

Hi! 😊

:D

Short term exposure to pine shavings shouldn't lead to any long term problems, it typically takes months of consistent exposure to the phenols to cause eventual respiratory damage so your hamster should be just fine and you shouldn't need to worry about anything now that he's on safe substrate :)

@@SomethingAnimal thank you so much! :)

As long it it bigger than 45o sq in of floor space. The bigger the better. always have lid though.

Those 18 jealous hamsters>:(

Dwarfs need 8" wheels :)

Ok I currently have him in a 4

Definitely take that out as soon as you can, it's better to have no wheel at all than to have one that is too small. 4" wheels are basically useless as there aren't any pets that are small enough to use them safely

Ok thank you so much

Yes!!

Yeah we're too far away so luckily weren't affected. We don't typically get big earthquakes here, usually just magnitude 3s and they don't normally cause damage. Rarely we'll get a 5 or 6, but they're very uncommon.

They can do, that's why they're a lot more work than female mouse groups because you have to socialise with a male almost constantly. Its kind of like having a puppy around that always needs attention. Males are definitely more work than females and not suited to everyone, but for the people who do have the time for them males make amazing companion animals :)

I doubt the store would go to that effort, in my experience they just care about selling the mice (since they're technically sold as feeders). Unless you get lucky and find one that might but even then i think its a stretch..sadly

Males cannot be housed together as there is an extremely high risk of them fighting due to their territorial nature, keeping males together is heavily discouraged for very good reasons and not something I would ever want to promote on my channel :)
