Cleaning the Large Mousery Part 1

Cage cleaning time is always a lot of fun, especially if you have a bunch of super adorable little 'helpers' :)

[@Aisha-721]

I'm having fun watching the mice moving around in the cage while the cage is being cleaned

[@diemilch555]

Oh boy, 1AM and I really gotta sleep BUT no way I'd be able to go without watching your little mousies doing their thing first, haha. Sooo adorable ;-;

[@terrencekelly1256]

Haha same here

Today I was having a particularly stressful day, not even my nicest music would calm me down. So I came here, and as I was hoping this video helped me calm down. All your mouse content is so sweet and calming, thank you for making these videos.

[@RaBidWeezul]

That was me today, too. I couldn't focus enough to get anything done. Then, I remembered this wonderful little video, and came to let the sweet little mousies calm me. This channel is such a gift.

[@mancheezethegreat8617]

Gracie is gorgeous. She's got the zoomies.

[@maryw.5779]

Oooooh, those sweet little faces! They don't seem to mind cage cleaning at all. My little old lady hamster does not like it when it happens to her. It's lovely how your mice like being held. Sweetie doesn't like that, either.

[@nicoleleos3675]

They’re like do you have any idea how long it took me to make that nest lol

[@Hattiecanning]

Same with my mice when I clean them out ahaha!

[@SeanAFoXy]

8:06 even at just 0.25X playback speed, gracie is still just a Blurred little ball of fur streaking across the cage at the speed of light, maybe even faster than that,

[@scoobusanubus737]

I can't get over how cute the mice are in this video

[@phoenixluna4137]

Your mice are so well behaved and happy. I wish every pet owner of mice was like you.

What do you mean it’s messy!! It took me weeks to get it just right!!!! 🐭

[@kojiarts1732]

I just moved to a new apartment that dosent allow pets, I miss my mice so much, your videos have been such a blessing, thank you so much ♥️♥️

[@Aisha-721]

I always wanted a pet mouse since I was a kid We're not even allowed Hamsters or rabbits

[@Aisha-721]

I love seeing them in your hand or riding your arms.

[@ilovemyself9565]

Why arent you aloud caged animals makes no sense

[@curiouscritters828]

Aaww they are just amazing, my oldest mouse is 1 year 5 months now she is definitely old and frail but is living her best mousey life, she just loves to come up to me and ask "but where's my banana chip!?" Her favourite treat.♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@shellyrae777]

At 16:00 actually these are the mice from Cinderella and are helping you sweep, lol

[@edwardk6464]

Love this channel, so sweet ❤️ I'm about to adopt some mice again for the first time since I was a child, this channel has definitely inspired me. Want to give them the best possible mousey lives just like you do for yours!

[@someoneelse4710]

The cardboard box was just hilarious, i cant believe that worked so effectively so fast XD

[@teaterrors3943]

you're so considerate and careful with your mice, your videos are very helpful to new mouse keepers. thank you for creating such an amazing mousery :)

[@tulsisevadasi]

Such little beauties. Midas! All of them. I love your channel. You are so gentle and respectful with your mice. 0mg the water tower full of mice!!!!!!

[@dawsie]

😹😹I love watching them running around but to make your life easy you should get a go-pro cam that you can wear on your head that way you can have both hands free 🤗🤗🤗🤗if you get the one that has a 360 it does not give you the feeling of being sea sick from the movement plus we get to see what you actually looking at 🤗🤗🤗

[@bunnyjanie]

so much cuteness . I love how curious they are !

[@apis1156]

ahh! I love your channel! You should get one of those Go-pros you can wear on your forehead like how Skinnypisg1 does! Then you can have both hands and film!

[@whoinvitedwoomy]

I love your channel so much! Thank you for uploading videos of these little guys, I'm starting university and they never fail to make me smile even when I get stressed. You deserve more recognition for sure :)) SO CUTE

[@lindasapiecha2515]

Stunning habitat for them 👍👍👍

[@abigailoesterling3060]

Where did you get the branches? If they are from outside, how did you sanitize them for use?

[@CreekValleyCritters]

I sanitize the drift wood and the dried leaves, but not the branches with leaves, it is just not practical. The mice enjoy them so much, it is worth the risk. The risk is low because where I live rodents, tend not to climb aspen branches, the squirrels are mostly in the conifers. This means the odds of there being parasites or diseases on aspen branches is very low. Once a year I treat everyone with Revolution for kittens as a precaution, it does a great job against parasites. So far I have not had any problems, the risk is there but more than worth it.

[@kandyfurry4847]

Wow your cage is absolutely gorgeous! I also love the little noises and hammock cabin things. It’s so creative. I would make one but I have big chunky rats instead of tiny little mice. I do want mice in the future so when I get them I’m definitely doing a similar nature setup.

[@digitalhamster22]

I really love your videos

My gerbils are just the same when I clean them out. They have to be involved.

What's amazing is that Faye's outlived some of the Percys. :O

[@CreekValleyCritters]

She is a tough little thing :)

[@mancheezethegreat8617]

I bed all my rats in fleece. I don't use anything else. I've had only one rat get a URI and that was after she came to me and I'm guessing it was the new environment.

[@definitelynotavegan7285]

If you only use fleece I strongly recommend getting a dig box if you don't already have one :)

[@danamaddocks5991]

What do you use to seal the wood in your cages.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

water-based semi-gloss Varathane

[@stayhomegorosocatgato7039]

Oh, how cute it is 🥰🐹🐹

[@meercatt]

I wonder if a type of GoPro camera that you wear on your head would work? Then you would have both hands free. Love your videos🥰

[@CreekValleyCritters]

The problem with GoPro cameras is that they do not zoom in. Mice are so tiny, to film them properly you really do need to be close. But I will keep it in mind for larger projects, e.g. hut making.

[@geneellens6939]

How old is Midas? He is pretty spunky for being an older mouse.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Midas is just over a year old.

[@linntball]

i was wondering if someone could help me, so i found a baby mouse on my front doorstep extremely injured, ive nursed him back to health and he seems a lot better but i haven’t taken him to the vet because i don’t have enough money, i bough formula for them too but i was wondering if i should keep it or not? and if i do keep it what do i do

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Wildies come in two main personality types: those that revert fully to wild behavior as they mature and those who keep their bond to their human and stay trusting and tame. The ones who revert to wild behavior should be released, a captive life will just make them unhappy. One who stays tame can be kept as a pet if you want to. It will need a large cage, a terrarium is best. If you want to find out more about wildies, check out the website 'Deer Mouse Ranch' mouseranch.com/ , they have info on keeping wild mice and on how best to release them back into the wild.

[@eatyourcereal4134]

Glad your back

[@Mikagow]

How often do you have to do these cleans with this mousery? Caring for mice at work, I know their oils can get stinky pretty quickly. But with habitats like these I would love to know

[@Mikagow]

I have rats and they cant have cages like these because they produce toxic ammonia too quickly. Mine are in a huge bird cage with so many toys.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

I spot clean every week and do a thorough clean every two weeks. But this depends on the size of the cage and how many mice there are, it varies when they need cleaning again.

[@lilyruth4186]

Your voice is so amazing 🤩

[@lari_storyart]

Have you looked into making your enclosures bioactive? I plan on doing trying it the next time I have mice

[@CreekValleyCritters]

What does 'bioactive' mean in terms of a small animal enclosure?

[@dylanwhocares3627]

Awesome video!🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Do you coat your wood in sealant so urine doesn't soak in?

Yes, I use water-based, semigloss Varathane.

One question do the mice jump out of the cage if not why ?

Domesticated mice have an instinct to be cautious of heights, most will never leave an open concept mousery.

Patch cement or metal strips where they like to chew.

I do have an Amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/creekvalleycritters , but the hides will not be there because I make most of them myself. If you look in the 'Mouse Furniture' section you will find some hides that might interest you. KubiDubi block kits are a good starting place.
