Ha ha

I've had Mickey for about 3 weeks now and I will say the smell isn't as bad as when I first brought him home. I think he is feeling more and more comfortable so isn't marking as much as he did.

We had our first bathtub session today. He's a touch shy but otherwise pretty outgoing. He's pretty mellow, not crazy jumpy like other mice I've had, so he's super photogenic! I got eighty-nine perfect pictures, while I usually get eight or nine with new mice. He's a real camera boy!

Oh, and he has a name now. It's Henry. I think he looks like a Henry.

Aaw he is such a pretty boy. I really like that colour Smile

Hello Henry Wave

He looks like he has slightly lighter hair around his eyes? He's very lovely!

by CinnamonPearl Mon 04 Jul 2016, 9:06 pm

Yeah! He has white fur above his eyes and behind the ears. His belly is pretty light too. He's really got some fantastic colors. I think he's my best looking mouse (no offense, girls).

Ooh, I love that color. I think the name Henry really does suit him well!

Oh my goodness, one of my absolute favorite colors! Such a sweetheart <3

Geez, he really does want to be a model! All that posing.

He is a cutie. I really think the name suits him too. Please have him tell my girls to pose prettily for pics like that!

An excellent name -- he really does look like a Henry!

Oh, my Troi was the same color, but she had white spots. Super cute! I love the little "eyebrows" that some mice have. Razz

Aaw CinnamonPearl I love that he's in your signature now! Yaaay!

I'm glad you like it! I worked hard prepping those pictures this morning. I also got a better one for Egg, cause I didn't like the old picture I used.

Also, a quick update on how he's doing! Henry is still a little hand shy, but he's getting more comfortable. He seems more nervous now than when he first arrived, but we're working through it. He's very comfortable during bathtub sessions, but less so when he's in his tank or on the desk or something. But I'm confident that we can work through it! He has a great personality other than that, and he's a very active and playful boy. I mean, after all, Rosie was quite the shy girl when I first got her, but she blossomed into a cuddly, loving old lady. ^.^

Henry's taming is coming along nicely! He's much less shy now and will climb into my hand. He doesn't glare at it anymore, at least. He's willing to be lifted up when he's outside the tank, though he doesn't like it when he's inside. I even managed to get his weight: 34g. A little lower than I expected, but a hearty weight nonetheless. He's really making leaps and bounds; I'm proud of the little guy.
