Wish I could send you some of my mice, you would love them so much. I could send you some, there is a direct flight between Whitehorse, Yukon, and Germany, but you would have to pick them up there, which would involve some travel, so only possible after the Pandemic. I could send you a neutered male and a few females who are 100% not pregnant......My mice are so full of personality and so interactive, it is such a shame I live in such a remote place. If you do get a female mouse from a pet store, only buy a very young one, no older than 5 weeks old, and you will be safe when it comes to unwanted pregnancies.

I was at petco yesterday, buying supplies for my birds, then went to check out the hamsters/mice etc. There was this little female mouse alone in the tank, and some one else was going to buy it as a feeder, so I went ahead and quickly asked another employee to give her me, so I can buy her. Yes, it was an impulsive purchase (I have years of experience taking care of mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.) but saving that little mouse was more important. Of course I’m not against carnivores eating mice, however, I don’t like knowing that pet stores sell mice to be feeders, therefore I just don’t own, animals that need to feed off other animals. Ha! Funny, I actually prefer keeping female rodents, I don’t know but, they like me better than the males.

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.

Hi @ErinsAnimals! Quick question about mouse care since you also live somewhere with a warm climate: I live in the tropics where it's over 27 degrees celsius almost every day, even at this time of the year in late autumn. I'm rescuing a couple of mice that have been in the shelter for over a month now. I don't have central a/c, but I do have multiple fans, multiple windows I can keep open all the time, a barred cage for them to maximise ventillation, refrigerated ceramic hides, refrigerated granite tiles, and electrolytes to add to their water. However, the thermometer I have placed where the cage is located usually reads 28 degrees or even higher during the day despite the fans (it does drop to healthier temperatures at night). I'm very scared of the mice getting heatstroke, and I've considered saving up for a portable air conditioning unit, but that would take time to save up for and I'm not sure if my current set up (with all the tiles and such) will be enough in the mean time (I'm due to pick them up by the day after tomorrow). Do you think the measures I've taken will be enough for now, and do you have any advice on what else I can do to help them keep cool?

I live in the US but when I was a kid I had a local family owned pet store down the street from me. My parents got me a syrian hamster from them. This pet store kept ALL of their syrian hamsters together in what I think was only a 20-30 gallon tank. The hamster I got was pregnant and I ended up with an extra five hamsters that we didn't know what to do with. This pet store was closed down in 2014 because they had a lot of violations against them. My parents did also get me a kitten from them and he's a grouchy old man now (the cat in my icon) and as much as I love him, I'm really glad the pet store was closed down. I was lucky to get a healthy cat but I know other people in my neighborhood who'd gotten puppies with parvo from there before and the conditions they kept their small animals and fish in were horrendous.

Maybe get only one or two mice, pick the chillest ones, and be prepared to keep the entire litter. You could keep all the daughters with their mother(s). Only downside is the possible sons, which you'd have to keep separate, rehome or cull when they're young.. or get them neutered and keep together, but that could be risky especially with feeder mice. I guess importing would be too expensive plus it would be hard to maintain a rolling group even then. I know France has some good mice breeders, I suspect there's also some in Spain.

Very fair reason! I know everyone's experience is different, but for me, dealing with an oops litter was incredibly stressful. I always knew there was a very teeny tiny chance of getting a pregnant hamster, but I never thought it would happen to me. And then I discovered the pinkies. My only saving grace was that I had been around Hamster Hideout for a few years by this time, and had picked up a ton of info about hamster babies and their care, just by being there. Anyway, I was stressed about it from the moment I discovered the babies, until the day I rehomed the last one. It was like I had some big mentaI block of anxiety that wouldn't go away. I never actually relaxed enough to appreciate how cute the babies were, or spend time handling them to make them more adoptable. I fed them, I kept their water full, I kept them clean. I did the bare minimum. I couldn't bring myself to do more than that, I just wanted them gone. The moment I handed over the last little guy to his new owner, it was like I could finally breathe again.

I live in germany and our standard is that mice should never live alone. I am not too educated in mice but i dont see a reason for a single mouse. If anyone has a good reason for keeping mice alone, please tell me why :)
@SomethingAnimal2 жыл бұрын
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 :)

Hey what do I do if my hamster chews on his medal wheels
@sophierobertson74263 жыл бұрын
My hamster has a small cut just above her nose I do actually know how she got it and it doesn’t actually seem to bother her but it bothers me so much as there a bit of skin hanging off ( like the tiniest bit) but how would I get that off or will she eventually get it off herself? Also if u wanna know how she got it she was free roaming and escaped her free roam area and yeh she got into something and got a little cut 😔

I have a dwarf hamster what wheel size do you recommend?? Great video by the way. Edit: I know this video is about mice but I thought it would be more likely I would get a reply to this comment if I asked on a video moref recently uploaded.

Dwarfs need 8" wheels :)

Ok I currently have him in a 4
@SomethingAnimal3 жыл бұрын
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

I know this is an old video but I just want to leave my suggestion. In my home country, we have companies that breed rats and mice (mostly albino) for lab work. I do believe most if not all houses the sexes separately. If you do want females maybe you can get from somewhere similar in your home country.... Maybe...

My reason for only owning makes in the past was because I felt there was a stigma towards them because of their smell and them not getting along and it annoyed me how unfair it is. You should decide by personality not by gender, but I digress, hamsters are my life again now and while I like mice I don't think I'll ever have them again.

@LukeTeel3 жыл бұрын
Get them under four weeks and you take no risk or, learn how to check if they are preggers. One male smells like ten times more than several females housed together, that reason alone would make it worth figuring out how to manage the females if you must pick a gender.

If I did get a male mouse can I just get the one or do I have to get more to go with him? I know people say not to have two males, but like can I just have one or will he get lonely?

Hey love so I was wondering if you could msg me in a way or exaplain here but I’m looking for help and having trouble finding some I got a hamster from my work at a pet store at the store he was handle and already very used to me he has NEVER been picked and would always come to me so when I brought him home I thought he wouldn’t need a time to settle (I was wrong) I’ve had him for 3 weeks and now he’s very scared of me from trying to handle him do you have any advice?

I'm not on any other platforms so I am sorry if this has been answered, but I can't find any info about Cyprus and the earthquake in the Aegean Sea. Are you guys far enough away not to be impacted? I hope so...
@SomethingAnimal3 жыл бұрын
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.

I'll be relocating to India at some point, and a lot of the concerns you brought up also apply there. So I would probably stick to males no matter the species because of this. But if I did decide to keep females, I'd try buy them at an age before the females become fertile OR I'd buy two females, wait a month to make sure they're not pregnant then go buy a couple more and introduce them. If they did turn out to be pregnant, I'd try to keep as many of the babies as I could and make bin cages for the remaining babies to be sold with them. So I know they have suitable housing at least. And offer lifetime support. Including the offer that if they can't keep them for some reason, I'll happily take them back. My partner knows I'm a massive animal lover and I've already told him that this is what I'd do if I accidentally bought a pregnant animal.

One male mouse seems to be an easy pet, but doesn't a solitary mouse get lonely and depressed?
@SomethingAnimal3 жыл бұрын
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 :)

Is it possible for the pet shop to quarantine the female mice you want for the period of time it would take for them to know that they’re pregnant?
@sarahjohnson60863 жыл бұрын
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

Tell me why I have female and male mice in the female side all the time, but all the males do is play together wrestle nicely. There’s no screaming and lick each other but on my females, they scream fight, even if they’ve been raised together.😢

Why can’t you have two male mice ?
@SomethingAnimal3 жыл бұрын
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 :)
