Hello, I’m wondering what the grass sort of bedding is that the babies are in; the nest. It looks very natural and cozy :) want it for my own boy

[@alicevanderbruggen8711]

I was wondering the same. It looks like sea grass that you can find on the beach.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

I made it myself by cutting grass from our lawn and drying it. I am very allergic to hay but find I am fine with my homemade hay. No dust or pollen :) Can't make very much at a time so it is a luxury item for my mice. They do love it though. We never use herbicides or fertilizers on our lawn, and then hand cut it for the hay, and then freeze it before giving it to the mice, so it is safe.

[@waterbottle7493]

@@CreekValleyCritters By any chance do you sell it :’)

[@CreekValleyCritters]

@@waterbottle7493 I have been thinking about this, maybe next summer. It is not hard to do if you do not mind an unkempt looking lawn and a few drying tents scattered around the property. It is wonderful hay especially for people like me with allergies and for mice with extra sensitive respiratory systems. My husband really wants to get a business like this going, so maybe next year.....

[@samonevanbuskirk8066]

Have you ever thought of working with ASF rats? Not a lot but if you can find someone who has some friendly ones you can put some with your male mice as long as they grow up with him and you.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

I have been thinking about this but I have heard that if for some reason they do not get along and have a fight, an ASF can kill a mouse within seconds. I don't know if I can really risk this especially when my only option for getting an ASF is through my local pet store. A poorly bred, traumatized ASF could be dangerous for my precious boys :(

[@samonevanbuskirk8066]

@@CreekValleyCritters - I get it I have two female ASF I have been working with for 1 year and a 4 months just to be pets and be handled. I have to wear gloves and they're still not very keen on any kind of affection. They do however love to perform tricks for treats, even if I can't handle them. I think if you raised your own small colony and separated the babies and hand raise them how you raise your mice you would be able to put them together. I do believe the only time that they get agitated is when you add a new mouse into the mix after they're adults. These rats seem to not like new males I was told by a breeder that if I introduce a male to my girls they will breed with him and once they're pregnant they will kill him and then choose to breed with their sons. I don't know how true this is but I do plan to breed these in the future So eventually I will find out. I love ASF's because they hardly produce any type of a smell and I think they're very beautiful I just wish they were a bit more friendly.

Most of my mice are long haired so this makes them look bigger, but they also have had the best care since before they were born and are raised in a stress free environment.

do you have any tips on taming mice? :0 i have 4 new mice, they’re all sisters but they won’t come anywhere near my hand when i leave it in their tank. i’ll even put food in it and be veryyyy still! i’m not too sure what else i can do though! they’re also very jumpy! if you try to hold them at all they will leap right out of ur hand ! i don’t wanna scare them but i want them to be okay with us at least picking them up to put them in another tank when it’s time to clean the tank they usually stay in 💓

[@bunlapin]

just be patient, it takes time for mice to bond. you can try hand feeding or giving out treats at a particular time of the day so when they see u they know food is coming. keep doing the hand in tank thing too. they will eventually come around:)

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Pet store mice are often traumatized little things who can take a long time to become tame. All you can do is be quiet and considerate around them and give them lots of reasons to look forward to your visits, ie treats and fun new things to explore. To move them, use the paper towel roll method. Gently herd them into a paper towel roll and use this to carry them from one place to another. Many mice learn quickly and will willingly go in when they realize what you want. It is a much less stressful way than chasing them to catch them.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

I keep all my babies unless a really good home comes along, but this is rare. I don't really prefer beige ones, it is just that this seems to be the most common color born in my mousery. I have too many gingers right now, but then this color seems to go hand in hand with super temperament, so maybe not such a bad thing. I am trying though for more variety and celebrate any baby who is born with a different color.

Can female mice who haven't had their own litters and who are acting as babysitters begin lactating to help feed the babies of another mouse?

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Sometimes but it is very rare.

[@parisinthe30sx]

You know, I never realised that females other than the mother could lactate(in any animal) I found out just how easily cats can, when my two new rescue kittens (14 weeks old) started nursing on my 3 spayed females. They alllll started lactating lol boy was that a shock. I looked it up and mice can indeed do it to, but apparently it's more common in rats

[@CreekValleyCritters]

@@parisinthe30sx There is also a drug they can give mares so they start lactating and can feed an orphaned foal. Wish you could buy this for mice, would really take the load of mom to have another mouse lactating plus a life saver for the babies if mom were to die or have health problems that stopped her from lactating. Had this happen recently with Glory, she could not feed her litter but luckily Lily had babies at the same time and could take over.

Such a lovely event, it's lovely to observe. It may have been unexpected, but it is a lovely surprise non the less. It's a pity that little Archie is so moody and his neuter didn't work. I remember once you mention a type of mouse and rat bait that doesn't kill the rodents but leaves them sterile, is that an option?

[@CreekValleyCritters]

No sadly that product is a scam :( It does not work at all and the manufacturers are very cagey about it when I contacted them to find out more. They did not even seem to know that domesticated mice exist so this makes me think they never even did any experiments on mice, just threw a whole bunch of ingredients together following some aboriginal herbal recipe and marketed it as a mouse birth control :( There is another product out there that seems much more authentic and does work, but they do not sell it as yet in Canada so I cannot get hold of it. As soon as it becomes available though, I will try it out on my mice. This product though makes the mice permanently infertile, both the males and the females, so cannot be used on mice you plan to breed later. Because of this, it may also have more side effects, whereas the herbal product I tried just was very tasty for the mice and had no side effects except for pregnancy :P
