Cute Mouse Media I can’t believe I can say this, but HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY OPAL!! She is only my 2nd mouse of more than 20 to make it to 2 years old, and she is showing zero signs of slowing down! Here’s to much more time with my sweet girl! ❤️

Question/Help Neutering soon. Forgot to ask vet this.

4 Upvotes

I'm getting my boy neutered soon so that he can have female companions and stink less. Cause otherwise he doesn't like me and would be quite lonely.

I forgot to ask the vet if I should discourage activity during early recovery by for example taking away climbing stuff. He told me that recovery would be quite straightforward but I would worry about my nouse accidentally or non-accidentally ripping the suture site.

First Time Owner female mice fighting?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve just gotten two female mice and one of them keeps fighting the other. They were raised together. I maybe got them 20 minutes ago, and they’ve fought twice. Just wondering if this behavior is normal or not, as I want both of them to be safe. I saw no blood, but they were biting each others’ backs and squeaking. Now one mouse is secluded to one side of the cage and has not moved since.

Would getting another mouse help this dynamic? Is this normal behavior?

Please help 🥲🙏

Edit: they’re in a Niteangel enclosure (40 gallons)

Question/Help Is my mouse pregnant?

I’ve only had hamsters and after my last one passed i decided to to get mice instead so I got her a week and a half ago as well as 4 others. they’ve been establishing their territories and she’s the biggest so she’s been chasing everyone around but it’s calmed down the last few days. i don’t know if this is because she’s pregnant or because it’s a new environment. she’s pretty shy so these are the best pictures i can get of her but i can’t tell if she’s pregnant or just a bit fat.

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts might be on my mouse tank. I've had two girl mice for the past 2months roughly. Pretty new to this. Feel free to leave a suggestion or ideas.
