Good day, ya'll!
I'm a slightly new fancy mouse owner; I've had them as a kid & my partner has had them throughout his life. We are recieving our 0.3 mice next week from the breeder & we already have 2.0 guinea pigs! I'm really excited for our ladies!
I'm a zookeeper volunteer (or: intern) & studying vet tech! We have a Prevue 528 cage (so about 610sq") & I've been excitedly building enrichment items! Most of my life revolves around animals & conservation...
Me? I love video games, reading, painting, gardening, & knitting

Hello! I had a guinea pig for 8 years. His name was William. He liked to lie on my lap, drink tea from a spoon, and wheek when he knew some field weeds were coming. Yeah, guinea pigs don't do all that much.
Looking forward to pics of your new girls!

That's so cute!!! I love how sleepy-cuddly they can be. Our older boar, Gaudi, LOVES lap time & pets so much.
I adore GPs! They're so funny. Our boars are a delight. We had a previous pair, Samwise & Frodo, but they passed; we usually keep them in pairs as a herd/social animal, and Samwise was a sheeeeer delight. He loved training sessions and just... Interacting with us. After Frodo passed, he raised Gaudi, and admittedly, really babied him! When he passed, which he was about 8 as well!, we got our newest, Oisín, who is.. Ridiculous. He loves to be "tall," so he climbs & jumps up on the hides all the time.
We're so excited for our 3 mice! We've been trying to figure out names, with so far: Agatha, Tabitha, & .... ?
Agatha for Agatha Harkness from Marvel
Tabitha for Tabitha Stephens from Bewitched
& we're soo stumped on the third right now.

We're torn on that! We have some unknown metric for "what feels like a witchy mouse name" so we decided Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie" doesn't work. I love that it rhymes, so I think whatever fits....? I've debated Edith... We've debated Endora (also Bewitched). MAYBE Morticia from Addams Family??? We really dislike "Wicked", so that rules out Zelena... Uh... I guess, yea, it'd be fun if it was a -tha name, but ehhh we're not bound to it!

Re: Good day, ya'll!
Morticia is always a cute name! I found a baby name generator where you can specify 'ends with' and tried it out. Might be worth a look to see if anything has the witchy vibe you're looking for. https://nameberry.com/search/advanced/results?gender=F&starts_with=&ends_with=tha&contains=&syllables=&origin_id=&derivation=&submitted=true

Actress Lara Parker (who looked exactly like my second grade teacher!) played the witch "Angelique" on Dark Shadows, AND the witch "Madelaine" on an episode of Kolchak - The Night Stalker. Arthurian legend gives us "Morgan". A cast list for Bewitched will provide you with probably dozens of names of Samantha's relatives and friends -- and enemies -- from the witchy side of things (just in case you haven't used that resource yet). And I hear Harry Potter World is full of witches -- have you looked there for inspiration?

Re: Good day, ya'll!
Great ideas! Morgan also reminds me of Morrigan -- she's a witch in the game dragon age, named after a Celtic deity.

Oh sweet! The "ends with" can be really helpful....
EDIT: Talking with my husband/partner/whatever-we-were-supposed-to-married-last-year-thanks-COVID & he agrees with Lagertha, ahaha. Which fair enough, she is actually a sitcom witch, too! Why we landed on this crazy specific naming metric, I have.... no idea.

I forgot about Kolchak! I could maybe go with Madelaine. I think Morgan isn't super "mousey" to us (I really wish I could explain what is or isn't "mousey" aha). & yea, we got Endora & Tabitha from the Bewitched show!
Admittedly, we both really hate Harry Potter

Re: Good day, ya'll!
Ha, I'm Tabitha, too. It's a lovely name if I do say so myself.
Welcome to PMF, I'm sure you'll love having some mousie friends in your life!
Also, I've never seen mammals listed in the 0.0.0 format, so I was confused for a second thinking you had, like... 1/3 of a mouse
(I have snakes and inverts so I figured it out eventually.... just took a minute)

Re: Good day, ya'll!
@River In reptile / invert communities, a lot of people use 0.0.0 to indicate how many of each sex of a critter they have!
So 1.2.5 would mean you have 1 male, 2 females, and 5 (generally unsexed) juveniles.
0.3 in this case means they don't have any males and have 3 females. c:
