I adopted a one-eyed mouse!
I adopted a one-eyed mouse!
by AnonymousMouseOwner on Sat 02 Dec 2017, 7:47 pm
Today we went back to the same Petco I got Flint the hamster from. I shopped around a little, but my real intent of going there was to ask if they had any female mice for adoption, since I only have 3 mice in the 20 long now. I asked an employee "Do you have any mice for adoption in the back room?". He said "I think so.... Let me check". Then he came out with a box and told me to take it to the counter to check out 
I was really confused, because he didn't even show me the mouse. I asked if it was a girl or boy and if I could see it first. He said first said "Oh, did you want it for a feeder or a pet?" .... I told him I wanted it for a pet, and he then told me it was a boy with one eye missing. I personally would've adopted him right then and there if I could've, but I'm not allowed to get anymore males since they are smelly little guys, lol, so unfortunately I couldn't get him. So then we left.
But then.... I told my mom all about him, and she let me go back and adopt him, which I was very happy about! I am so grateful that I will get to spoil him for the rest of his life! He seems to be doing just fine despite missing an eye, he just acts like a normal, happy, young, energetic mousie!
So far he loves food and running on the wheel...
Now for some pics!

What a cutie!! It's great that your mom let you adopt him, it's sad to think he would've been snake food. ;o; Have you decided on a name yet?

Your welcome! Hmm if he were mine I'd probably go with Jack or Sparrow. I usually play off theme names and by him missing an eye a pirate name would suit him just perfect.

Such a magnificent-looking fellow should have an equally magnificent-sounding name: Stéphane Frédéric Josef Armand de Bruxelles et Liège.
One time I picked out a white cory catfish that had only one little pink eye. It went belly-up on me before I could even get home with it. >sigh<

He's a cute little guy. And that's really nice that your mom let you get him! 
But you should call him Alano... It's Spanish for
'handsome'.

It isn't the sort of name I would normally pick out - but I think I'll go with Jack! A lot of people have suggested that name to me and my parents actually suggested that name when I got him, lol. It fits him, so Jack he is!
