r/mice

I have five female mice and i can't keep them at my new place. I love them and they love to play and two like to be in your hand. if you live anywhere near atlantic iowa please DM me. cage and all enrichment included for free.

This is Brimble! I ended up rescuing a single female mouse, and right now she’s living alone.
I’m having a hard time finding more mice, so I’m not sure how long it’ll be before I can get her some friends. How long is it okay for a female mouse to be by herself?

Found outside during the day and lethargic

HER EYESSS

Found a mouse in a theater and captured it safely, I’m concerned that he was too easy to catch. He doesn’t appear injured but he moves slowly and seems a little raggedy. I am planning on releasing him in a bit, I just don’t want to if he needs help

Please help!

Just wanted to share this little mouse with the cottagecore community. I thought you might enjoy him 🤍

I’ve been working on a woodland collection and I’m trying to decide what I should paint next. Bird?Squirrel? Rabbit? Something else?

I’d love your thoughts!

background: i got three mice from a feeder bin a few months ago. Bonnie (light orange, bottom left second pic). Maddie (siamese, top right second pic). Alexis (not pictured). about a month ago, alexis suddenly got sick. she just became lethargic and weak, didn’t eat, looked like she was in pain. she was gone by the next day, before i could even take her to the vet. a little while passed and i adopted three rescue mice, a little older than bonnie and maddie, to be companions. Ginny (orange, bottom right second pic). May (black, both pics) and Hayley (grey, both pics).

less than a week ago, Ginny suddenly got lethargic and sickly. she was still new and therefore shy, it was normal to not see her at every feeding time, so by the time i went looking for her she was in rough shape. i tried to get some food into her and keep her comfortable, but when i woke up the next morning she was gone.

Yesterday, May got lethargic. she looked the same as ginny. i kept an eye on her overnight but this morning she was looking the same, so i separated her along with Hayley. just now she passed away too. four days apart.

Does this sound like any known mouse illness? my leading theory is that the feeder bin mice have some dormant illness, it got to Alexis because her immune system was weaker (i think she was super inbred) and then they passed it to my new mice upon introduction. but is that even a thing that happens? has anyone else experienced this? i really just want to make sure my remaining three mice are going to be okay.

Found this extremely tiny mouse on a busy path and it wasn’t really moving out of the way as people passed. I was able to catch it easily to get it out of the way, and have brought it home. It’s chilling in a box full of shredded paper right now. It’s moving around slowly but shaking a lot. Any idea what type of mouse it is and what I should do? I’m in Northern Ireland.

Help! How do I stop this stupid mouse from coming up here on my balcony?? I thought maybe they wanted the tile but I moved it. Advice appreciated
