Very cute. Do they live together without fighting? Can you just keep adding more?

yup, It's not 100% guaranteed that they will all get on when you introduce a new mouse but it's rare for it not to work afaik.

We're planning to introduce a new one every few months so that we always have a group of mixed ages rather than them all getting old and passing on at the same time.
We found with our middle aged one that she acted very old when in with our two elderly mice and we thought she would probably go not long after them, then when we introduced a couple of babies she acted so much younger and definitely has a few more months in her :)
 
How adorable!! My daughter had meeces.One was called Tres as his ear was split into 3!!!:shock:Born like it apparently?????
These pics are smashing....lovely close ups!!
More please!!!!
 
Is their a good website/forum where you can go to learn how to care for them?
I was on the allaboutmice forum but it was closed down, I'm now a member of thefunmouse forum but it's american and there are some very different ideas on mousekeeping to the UK forum, particularly as it's choc-a-bloc with breeders. It's still useful for checking what they can/can't eat, what's good substrate, any ideas in illness etc.

ohhh they are so cute? What kind of cage do you keep them in? Are they smelly welly meeces!?:lol:
I keep them in a 3ftx19 inch vivarium with the doors left off for ventilation. I don't find they smell too bad at all unless you don't clean them out. I tip out their litter tray every day/every other day and then do a full clean whenever that stops controlling the smell.

I've made some adjustments to their cage today actually :)

their climbing frame will go back in when the new one is used to me. They love it but it's an excellent hiding place!
 
Eeee:love: Adorable! Lovely set-up too :)

Did the mini mouse arrive?
ooh yes! I forgot to tell you, sorry. It's a little bit smaller than I thought it would be so I've put a small hole in it and turned it in to a really cute necklace :love:
You inspired me to buy a block of clay too which I've really had fun with :D
thanks so much :)
