Answering the most GOOGLED mouse questions

[@blessingsx]

Mice without bones: basically adorable squishy stress balls with ears. :D I love that you mentioned neutering males as a suggestion! Not all vets will do that procedure/are comfortable, and one definitely needs an exotics specialist for it (unless adopting a neutered baby from the shelter). That said, I've had I think six? Successfully neutered boys. Some of them came to me that way, some were performed by my amazing vet care team, but I can tell you two things: 1) The little boys LOVE and thrive when they're able to live with girls 2) The colony dynamics change SO much. It's fascinating. Females are social and usually able to get along with whomever, but when you add that little boy in there, it's like their lives feel complete.

[@ashlingunderson8285]

“Do mice have bones” is along the same line of the question my sisters asked me once, “do snakes have lungs”

[@ended_ellipsis]

No theyre noodles floppy noodles they have a brain and teeth thats it :)

[@Abandoned_Account_A3B2C1]

“Do snakes have lungs” Snakes usually have only one lung IIRC.

I think the bones question might actually be CAN they have bones, which to anyone wondering yes they can have cooked chicken bones :) they gnaw so splintering and choking is not a hazard for rats and mice - although bigger animals that dont gnaw can NOT have cooked bones

If I had to guess... I think the question 'do mice have bones' may actually be something a new snake owner might google. I imagine they'd be wondering if the snakes are really able to digest whole animals, bones and all.

[@coolen8502]

Thank you so much. Inheriting my hypochondriac mindset, your answer around diseases really assured me for some reason. Just got my mouse yesterday! Can't wait to live a little while with him.

[@toboewhisker]

I have a male mouse and he lives alone. I got him from a breeder, and from day one he’s been rather antisocial. He prefers to do things on his own in his own way. He’s not overjoyed to get any kind of attention unless it comes with a reward. So, I’d say that their (male mice’s) level of loneliness depends on their personality.

Okay I thought of a video idea that might be alot of fun, there’s this channel on youtube called VanillaHamHam who basically makes minature foods for her hamster and it would be so cute if you could try it with your mice and rats! I dont know how much a hamsters diet differs from a mouse or rats, but if you can make some of the food in her vids I think it would be really cute!

[@fatmoosh]

I hope all the google results are stuff that is not about mise and rat traps I Don t Even have rats 🐀 but I know a TON of things about them. You should react to Shawn woods. Did smelly belly say anything about their animal care I’m worried for the animals that they own.

[@Emiology]

They don't seem to have accepted much responsibility they have got their ferrets a bigger cage but that's about it, seemed to have ignored advise on how to improve their rats lives and are playing the victim in the situation.

[@ioncekilledamanwithmyshoe]

Sometimes trapping and killing mice are necessary (especially if they are an invasive species). That’s why I personally don’t mind Shawn Woods’s videos. He even has some mice and rats as pets! I don’t like his mouse/rat traps that involve drowning them, but in many videos, he lets the native species of mice go and he humanely dispatches ones that are invasive in a CO2 chamber. They also never go to waste because he feeds them to wild animals.

[@amanitamuscaria7690]

Question! You have a lot of experience caring for both mice and rats, so what is your "preference" of the two, if you have one? Care differences aside, is there one you like better for any reasons? I mostly have experience caring for rats (all lovely!), but I've only cared for one group of mice. I had previously been afraid to care for mice specifically due to their small size; I found rats are a much better match for me since they are larger and more 'cuddly', but I have always been open to getting more into mice if given a good opportunity.

[@PickledJar.]

Just as a suggestion in case you're interested in making a video like this, if I get rats soon i'm interested in making a mostly naturalistic cage so a video with ideas for what to put in a cage like that would be great

Hi Emme! I’m in need of your advice! Since the beginning, Twinkie has been my alpha mouse. I’ve gotten Twinkie and daisy at the same time. I’ve since introduce (separately) Little Foot followed by Bambi. Twinkie picked on these girls a lot, I’m assuming to establish her dominance. Since I’ve now introduced Cricket and Dixie (together) Twinkie and Daisy had their share of picking on the new guys. But now, Little Foot is picking on everyone except Twinkie! She seems to be chasing them and the other squeak as she approaches. I’m not really sure what to do because she’s even going after Daisy who was there before her. Is there anything I can do to get Little Foot to relax? They all sleep together but when they are awake, Little Foot is reeking havoc!

It’s rare to have make mice together because of how aggressive they are but a lot of people say they should be fine if they grew up together or are from the same litter. Just keep an eye on them because their temperament/aggression changes as they grow and they might end up fighting
