"Christina Websell" wrote in message ... Don't feel too bad, they do have quite short lives. I used to show mice when I was a teenager, did quite well too ;-) so I know a little about them. I was a member of the National Mouse Club! http://www.nationalmouseclub.co.uk/ Since we're still off topic and talking about mice, I thought I'd introduce you to my new two. I don't think I'll put them in with Madison, at least not for a while. She's still very itchy and we will need another trip to the vet. I sprayed her with a tiny spray of antiseptic so I hope she will be comfortable until I can get her in again. Here are my new two: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/22235...37512561tMhieS One is related to a hairless but is called a "fuzzy". The other is semi-longhaired and called a "splotched". I never knew mice could be so exotic. These two are just under a year old and retired breeding females. They are VERY active. I don't think either of them have been on a running wheel before but the fuzzy figured it out fairly fast. The splotched one hasn't gotten past giving up when it starts to move when she tries to climb on it. They are lovely. They may not live more than a couple of years though so don't expect it. I love mice. How could anyone not? Tweed |

I love mice. How could anyone not? I'd like to second Tweed's sentiment here. I'd have to say the only real downside to mice and many other 'pocket pets' is their short lives. We don't love them any less for it, though. Maeve ^..^ -- http://moonglowminnow.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/minnow/ |
