Baby Obsessed Mice, Amara and Athena

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING:
If you want trusting little mice, it is important to start socializing them to humans from the day they are born. Twice a day they need to be gently handled to get them used to people, at first only for a few minutes at a time, but then as they get older for longer. Most adult mice do not mind you holding the babies, in this video moms Isa and Ella do not seem to care, but aunties Amara and Athena feel VERY strongly that babies should be in nest boxes. This makes socializing the little ones tricky, with two baby obsessed mice trying to steal them all the time. Don't worry, they are not hurting them. Mice have a firm grip when they pick up a baby, but also a very gentle one. I know because sometimes they get so carried away, they try to also haul my fingers back to the nest lol It is neat how much mice vary in the degree of their determination to care for babies. Amara and Athena are the best little aunties, even if they over do things a bit :)
Note: this video was taken a few months ago, all the babies are now grown up.

I love how much mice love babies. I've never seen another animal (other than some humans) who are so fulfilled by being parents. Every momma mouse I've had has come out of motherhood a happier, friendlier, and more confident mouse.

[@CubeBizz]

Check out momma rats

[@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543]

Mama Elephants. Yes apart from Elephants. No species can top their parenting skills. They keep their babies with them forever so when You see a herd, You'll have the Babies, their older Sisters, Mother, Grandmother & Aunts who live as a herd for life. Elephants come for miles around to meet the new babies in the herds. It's really something very special. Even the Sons stay with Mum til they're 15. This is as long as poachers don't ruin everything.

[@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543]

@Se A Yes People don't often get to see what deeply nurturing & protective Mothers other animals are. I have to say though that Pachyderms (Rhino & Elephants) put Us to shame. It's like They invented the saying "It takes a village to raise a Child". Likewise the Cetaceans (dolphins, whales, porpoises etc) How amazing the way the whole community comes together to raise & protect these Babies & the Mother to Baby bonds are lifelong. The Females never leave their Mothers. Sadly most People don't understand the complex bonds that all these animals have. With the mice They get to see it because Aud has showed them with such understanding & empathy.

[@Pisskopf12345]

rats and mice are the cutest and nicest pets ever. we have 6 rats and we really love them

[@MamaSymphonia]

Most mammals are infinitely more selfless as parents compared to humans. Probably because they don't have bills to pay or any of that other stressful junk in their minds. They just got one thing to care about.

[@ambriadaniels8786]

[@bennettquinton8516]

When my rat gave birth she was the opposite. Often times she would squeak for me to come over, drop her babies in my hand, then walk away to eat. She hated leaving the nest with no one watching over the babies Dad was neutered though, so after about a week I slowly introduced him to his kids and then she stopped waking me up every hour. XD But babies are so cute. The baby mice look almost as big as baby rats. So little.

A few years ago we got 2 mice from a pet store, both female so we didn't end up with a bunch of babies, and they were BOTH already pregnant lol. We had SO MANY babies! One of the girls had 10, and the other had 8 I believe. They were so darn cute though. Thankfully we had several friends who actually wanted pet mice so they went to good homes. A few did die shortly after birth but the majority made it.

Thank you for the video! I love mice since I was a little kid and so small like a baby mouse. In my life is everything about mice and I had in my life 15 mice (5 live today, 2 big mice and 3 baby mice), they're so cute, lovely and adorable. I can't understand people, which hate them. ♥️🐁♥️ They don't disturb you in your home, they are just curious creatures like a few people but that's okay. 🙄 They want to know how the big humans live and if they don't like it, then they show you that, but make it for them comfortable. 🤗 So, DON'T kill them! 🥺 Mice [and Rats🐀] are just smaller than we, but they are almost similar to us, the humans. And they are not the same! 😐 Ya, you hear right, do a research and you'll see that, they are so interesting animals and want just live in this colourful world. Every animal in the world have a place in the world. 😊 And if we kill all of our animals, our life wouldn't be so colourful like today and the small things could make the difference 😞 How you see, I love mice and animals, each of them need to live and hasn't to be killed and / or posted on any Social Media (Shame on the people which think that they would change the world, YOU are the people who nobody needs, not the animals 🤬). Be proud to live, as an animal or a human, the mouse sends hugs and love you all, I hope you could have more respect against animals 🌈🌍
