my mouse wont socialize??

hi!! I’ve had my mouse for about 2 months now and he still wont come up to my hand. he’ll come up, sniff, and then run away. even when I have treats in my hand, he’ll come, sniff them, and then run away. he’s also never very curious. my old mouse was always climbing in his cage and running on his wheel and burrowing, but this mouse just sits in his hideout all day. he doesn’t even like scavenging for food. i’m so confused as to what i’m doing wrong. i put my hand in his cage and talk to him, but he still hasn’t even touched my hand yet. please give advice!! i just want my little guy to trust me haha

update!!

after the three craziest months of my life, i finally was able to purchase and set up a new cage for butters!! its literally 3x bigger than his old one. i’m almost worried he’ll be scared and lonely in such a huge ass cage. anyways, he seems really happy exploring so far! I have sprays and a new water bottle in the mail, ive been making enrichment toys with cardboard and fruits/veggies and hes been very happy! im going to start letting him outside the cage in a playpen in my room (not the rest of the house cause my cat and dog). does anyone have any other suggestions for his new house?? does he need a friend?

I was a terrible partner. will he ever forgive me? (F18) (NB20)

I (18 F) was a terrible partner to my boyfriend (20 NB), and he finally got tired of it and left.

I have had terrible attachment issues in every relationship I’ve ever had, friendly, familial or romantic. I thought that I had healed some of my wounds when I met him 7 months ago, but i was wrong. I was emotionally manipulative without even realizing. I’d put him down and “play” insult him. I took advantage of his kindness. He was the sweetest person I ever met; so kind and loving and gentle. I thought he could fix me, but thats not how relationships work. I realize that now. I am starting a journey to heal my wounds, and find out why i am subconsciously resorting to this emotionally abusive behavior. I want to do this regardless of him.

He broke up with me after telling his parents the way I’d been treating him, and he has made it clear he doesn’t want to speak anymore. I just want to apologize so bad. I want him to know how fucking sorry I am. I loved him so much and I hate myself for hurting him. Is there any chance I can reach out to him down the line after I have changed and bettered myself? Everything I see about this on the internet seems to say that the emotional abuser is evil and should be stayed away from at all costs. But that scares me so much. I don’t want to be evil, I want to be a good girlfriend to that sweet boy, or whoever else might come along. Can I be forgiven for this? Or am I doomed?

is this temporary cage suitable?

I got a pet mouse today because I’ve been wanting a new one since mine passed on a few years ago. I was only able to afford a 40$ 20 gallon tank today because I spent so much on toys and food, and the 40-60 gallons were 300+$, which I simply can’t afford right now. I was wondering if his current cage setup is suitable until late June when I will get my first paycheck? Should I add anything? He seems very happy right now and I bury snacks for him to forage for. does anyone have any cheap tips?? I want to make sure he’s happy and healthy when he isn’t playing outside the cage. Thanks!

who the fuck is into this???

so i came across the r/guro subreddit and… what can i say? ive seen gore, and I understand the kink and BDSM community, but to combine them? it cannot be healthy or normal to fantasize about this shit. like, the amount of art on there is shocking. like yeah, a diaper fetish is gross (in my opinion) but to each their own. everyone is allowed to have interests… to an extent. my question is, if you are into this stuff, why? and how do you not fear that you would enact this shit irl?? do people in your real life know about this?? i have so many questions.

finding my style/ what to work on

hi!! I’ve been doing art for YEARS but I still feel I don’t have a specific style or focus. now that I’m headed to college, I want to start focusing more on creating a marketable brand rather than a random assortment of stuff. does anyone have any advice? or any tips on things I need to work on? thank you so much for any advice (:

I cannot figure out how to add more pictures so I’ll put them in the comments!!
