Having mice is addictive!.!
by Barbiefly Sat 16 Jul 2016, 7:57 pm
I've only been a mouse mama for a few weeks now and I can see how addictive it can become. I can't get anymore mice at the moment but I want to so badly! I was at Petco yesterday to pick up some bird food and I stopped to look at the mice and there were a bunch of cute female fancy mice there. One came out of the den to say hi to me. She was so cute, gray with a darker gray bone shaped spot on her forehead. Oh my, she was adorable!

I know. There are some very cute cinnamon mice in the feeder bins at the pet store near my work now, and it's so hard to resist the urge to buy them, especially when mice are so cheap. I already have as many mice as my cage can hold, though.

This is why I got my first mice, Molly and Sally. I asked to hold little Molly (at the time she didn't have a name) at the pet store and she ended up not wanting to leave my hand. Couldn't stop thinking about the little baby girl. So I got her and a little friend the next day.Barbiefly wrote:I keep thinking about her. She is stuck in my head right now.

Mice are just so much fun and so cute and so easy to look after, they really are addictive 
If mice were sold in pet stores near me I don't know how I'd resist.

Oh my gosh, getting mice is sooooo addictive! I only ever planned to get three mice, Rosie, Mabel, and Cow, but I now have had six! I got Egg and was planning to get another mouse with her, but when she was the only mouse at Petsmart, I decided no more mice. Then I acquired Lilith and decided that was it. But when I was down to just a 10gal of three old ladies, I decided, "Oh, what the heck," and got Henry. And if it's early enough, I may even get another girl when I'm down to two! It's just so much fun picking out a mouse, naming them, getting to know them.

When I got Mickey, he was in with a couple other males. All the others were in their igloo, Mickey was the only one out and about. I went over to the tank and he came right over, like he was saying "please get me out of here". After he came over to me, I knew he was the one!

It is hard to walk away. I have some (bad) pics of a boy mouse I wanted so bad. I couldn't get him out of my head either but when I went back about a week later, he was gone. This was months ago.
He was at a petsmart near me that hardly ever has mice. They also had a group of girls, so I'm thinking he was mixed in by accident.

Strange for a male mouse to be at a female Petsmart! They must've mixed them up when they were shipping.

They don't normally have mice at all but yeah, I figure he must have accidentally got mixed in with the shipment of females. Luckily they took notice because he was in his own cage.

I agree with CP. Picking out a mouse, bringing it home, and getting to know it is such a fun and rewarding experience. It can be hard to stop doing once you have enough mice!
