Thank you so much to everyone who gave me feedback on my post about Snake Bait.

After getting her in a glass jar to get a good look at her undercarriage I can say Bait is definitely a girl, so I began the search for a buddy. I wanted to get a pair for her, but after going to 4 stores in 3 towns, this is the only female mouse I could find. So let me introduce you all to Snacrifice!

She’s in a quarantine set up for right now and I will begin introductions in a few weeks once I know for sure she is totally healthy. Idk if she just has darker skin or if that’s some sort of irritation/inflammation on her nose and back, but we will keep an eye on it. Her poo in the box she came home in didn’t look great either.

So, I had a snake, now I have a mouse named snake bait, I’m sure you can figure out what happened. Owned other rodents in the past but new to mice. I bought a few mouse specific things but am mostly working with what I already had, which is a lot of cork bark. I can’t get a lot of depth in the front but I made sure there is lots of fluff in the back for tunneling. Is there anything I missed or anything I should do differently? Thanks in advance.
