I keep switching up their set-up and trying new enrichment such as a play pen and today a dig box!!! Proud to say they crawl on me now and let me lift them, they are really starting to become curious and confident.
I’m so touched and overwhelmed by the advice and positivity on my original post. This community is awesome. Here’s the enclosure I ended up making for my little guys. I replaced the glass on the lid with mesh for better ventilation. It’s 24 x 15 wide and 15 inches tall. Here’s my original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PetMice/s/5XRcvTzmW3
What can I do to safely add enrichment for them right now at home? Any advice? I have more supplies like kiln dried pine bedding and more chews on the way from Amazon. I can also get them a bigger tub, this is just what I had on hand and what I could pick up today (I was pressed for time) They are all female feeder mice. All of them were near by each other and they had no water in sight, I caught them, gave them a water dish inside and they all drank like crazy:( I notified the closest Petco to where I found them so that they don’t sell to the person again, they knew who purchased them and seemed rightfully pretty upset. They are okay now, eating and playing on their wheel. The Phoenix heat is no joke I don’t know how someone could be so thoughtless and set these precious babies up to die a horrible death outside. I just feel really shocked and at a loss right now EDIT: will be ordering different bedding!
