Mice!

[angel1980]

Ds's hamster Scooby has recently gone to hamster heaven cryingsmil so we have decided to get some pet mice. :clapping:

I can't wait, I haven't had mice since I was young!

Off to get some today, just got to think up names! :party05:

Oh, Ellie know's all about mice:cheesy:

We had them a few years ago, they make great pets:party05:

Lol. :cheesy:

I've just rung about 7 pet shops and only 1 has mice at the moment!! Apparantly they're not that popular anymore. Hopefully we'll be able to get some today!

Rats make great pets you know....

Yeah, I'd love rats but I want to use the same cage as for the hamster really, don't want to have to spend loads buying a big cage for rats. One day though. :-)

i love mice...we've had a few now, but they don't tend to live long thats why we gave up keeping them as it upset the kids...good luck in your search x x x

Any joy yet?

Just a word of warning .... mice can get out of hamster cages!!! They have quite flexible little back bones and can wiggle through the bars. You have to see it to believe it but I promise, they can!!!

The bars on mouse cages are usually stronger and closer together to stop them escaping ... might be worth investing in one if you want to keep your mice where you put them!!!!

Hope you find some!

Thanks, it's a plastic 'cage' with bars for ventilation at the top, so should be ok.

We now have two little female mice about 8/9 weeks old, soooo cute! A white one with a brown bum called Martha, and a brown and white one called Rose. :cloud9: V sweet little things. :party05:
