Hello from the Isle of Wight!

Hello All!

Sarah here, a newbie to the forum and a new mouse owner.

I've had syrian hamsters for a long time, but recently I've become a mouse mother to a beautiful solo tezel male called Vinnie.

He as somewhat of an impulse purchase...about a month ago I was out and about with my sister looking for some male rats to keep her solo male Stan company as his lifelong cage mate sadly passed away. While in a local pet shop (NOT Pets at Home!) I spotted a plump little ball of fur reduced from £6.50 to £4, the last of the litter. I had a spare cage so I took him home! He's has a beautiful coat - black, white and light brown all wavy with curly little whiskers.

While I've been cared for syrian hamsters for a long time now and have experience with rats, Vinnie is my first mouse! I'm excited to learn more about them, get to know his little personality and talk to you all on here!

Some more info about me:

I'm a 23 year old Politics and Philosophy graduate
I love to illustrate and have an art instagram here https://www.instagram.com/raeable/?max_id=1520741204592377522
I live on a cute little island in the south of the UK called the Isle of Wight
I live above a bakery!
I'm learning to rollerskate
I'm looking to follow mouse-related blogs and youtube channels

Here are some pictures of my little guy and his home:

Welcome!!

Your boy is adorable, and his cage is fantastic!

I love rollerskating! I bought skates last year so I could rollerskate the dog. Teehee

Hello!

The Isle of Wight is lush in the summer, I haven't made it to the beach at all sadly, but the sea air is lovely Smile

I just moved back after five years of being in Bristol!

Your instagram is SO CUTE Heart Eyes

Colin is a great name for a mouse! Gave you a follow Smile

I last visited the Isle of Wight two years okay on a ceilidh band tour. We had a fantastic time - my favourite thing was doing a fossil hunt down on the south side of the island!

Thanks for the follow! Sometimes I think that Colin thinks he's the cutest thing going because he often seems to pose for the camera!
