Scaredy, I'm glad you are going to keep Teddy! Dance

My male gerbils don't smell at all. And I used to have a male Chinese hamster and he didn't smell either.

Yay! Glad you're keeping Teddy, he deserves a forever home Smile

He's adorable too, who could resist?

With regard to hamsters - I think I read that the females tend to be more dominant than the males? So maybe that's why the boys don't smell? Archie doesn't smell at all... actually I think he smells quite nice Laughing

Aww, congrats to Teddy on a forever home!! There's like seven boy mice at the shelter here, they've been there forever. It's so sad.

Yay, you're adopting Teddy!

Boy Abeona, I WISH there would be mice at my shelter so I could scoop them up! Mice at my shelter always get adopted shockingly fast. There were four boys there that ended up only being there for a couple of days. I missed them by a few hours! Sad

There is a cute female on petfinder in Brooklyn with the creative name "white mouse." Not sure how close you are. She has been there a while.

In the past I got one of my rats from the Humane Society, she was so friendly and outgoing. She was a true joy and is very much missed. My other female I had gotten from a rat rescue. She was more on the shy side, but so very sweet. She came out of her shell a lot in the years I had her and she is very much missed too. One of my current gerbils, Pip, I also got from the Humane Society, but I've not seen them advertise that they have had mice. I've seen them have rabbits and guinea pigs, but no mice and no hamsters that I've seen either.

There are currently 14 white mice available for adoption on Petfinder in my area through Michigan humane society. Poor little mouses Sad

They have been there a really long time, I've seen them on there for months.

Sometimes I've found that petfinder doesn't update. So if a mouse gets adopted, they won't take the ad down.

by scaredymouse Sat 13 Aug 2016, 11:18 pm

As of last week, they were all still there. I've been getting blasted with messages from local rescues trying to help find homes for these guys.

Poor mousies. Sad

I guess there are just a lot of mouse people around here. I know the woman who gave me my first three girls knew a few other mouse people, and mice seem to get scooped up from shelters really quick. I guess it's just a good mouse neighborhood on LI.

The rescues near me never seem to have mice. But then again the pet shops don't sell mice either, so if you want mice around here you have to go out of your way to look for them.

I can't get enough of this guy! I just caught him sleeping in his submarine, he heard me and woke up. Surprise Ted!

He's adorable! Reminds me of Mr. Biscuit. Luckily I've never had to deal with my males smelling females on me lol Biscuit was territorial to the point that I had to wear the same awful smelling jacket to play with him or he'd scent mark me to the point I worried he would get dehydrated but I don't think Agent Bauer has ever marked or pooped on me.

That submarine was so worth the $12.99 I paid for it! I love seeing that little face in there Smile
