Introducing a New Mouse

[@RaBidWeezul]

I can't express to you how deeply I appreciate you and your little mousies. No matter what's happening in the world, there's a wonderful little place in the Yukon with a gentle, kindly lady and her troops of friendly, curious little mice. Mice are born, and grow, and have their little mousy trials and joys before they pass, and all the while they have the most lucky little life of all the mousies in the whole world. Your channel is a sanctuary of peace for me, and I'm sure for many others all over the world.

Thank you for always sharing your mice with us. I love your sweet, quiet voice when you speak to and around them and you are so incredibly gentle and sensitive to their needs. It's a beautiful and soothing thing to see. They are such small little lives and you take such wonderful care of them and they are so beautiful. I love them and I love what you do for them. Thank you.

PLEASE Show us when lily have babies. Its so interesting!

[@itsbecklesonutube]

I must give a HUGE THANK YOU to CVC for the ever entertaining and educational videos you share here. I had a mouse infestation in my garage and after trapping (in a lethal way) several adults, I found two babies in a nest with eyes still closed. I simply couldn't abandon them! I brought them in and immediately got on KZbin. Your channel with Matilda was exactly what I was looking for! I began feedings every two hours for over a week until their eyes opened! I intended to set them free in the wild just as soon as they reached 10g. They were 3 and 4g when I found them. Well, I learned how to sex them and I have a brother and sister. Discovering they could begin breeding at only 5 weeks old, I had to make a plan QUICK! I decided to keep them and get a friend for my girl. Long story short, I now have FOUR mice - 2 girls and 2 boys and am building them an adjoining cage so they can still see and smell each other but can't get into trouble! When my Sissy mouse is a few months older I will breed her with my Peachy boy mouse. I have built them several toys with dollar tree items and popsicle sticks. I cannot tell you how much personality they each have and how much joy they have brought me during this intolerable lock down! Following your bonding suggestions, I sit with them most nights in my deep bathtub and allow them to play and climb on me and get lots of mousy adventure with different toys and play houses! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS and for how much love you show these amazing creatures! Can I come live with you? 😆

Love the frequent updates. About a month ago I tried to rescue two baby deer mouse who were living in an air conditioning unit, but I was unsuccessful. Regardless, your channel was of tremendous practical and emotional support, in particular your series on Stewart. It went south when I was too careless with the heating and thought two heatpads on low was necessary to keep them warm. At the same time I blocked the cooling vent to the room because I was worried about bronchial infections from a breeze, and what happened was that they overheated and became dehydrated. I was feeding them every two hours but the excess heat was just too much. in retrospect, I should have measured the aquarium floor with an IR heat gun, and you must leave a part of the aquarium unheated so that they can crawl there should they feel the need to cool down... Thanks for your generosity and virtue.

I can’t bring myself to get more pet store mice after Seraphina, she came to me with the gold Serabi, and always had like a weird mass on her stomach but above abdomen on the right side and it lead to her having a seizure, I still blame myself for not being able to take her to a vet when I noticed she got defensive of her aggression when Serabi touched there at all. Serabi a couple months after, would die as well, but from URI and just me not being able to afford a vet bill but I’m starting over with my current male Sterling (who is from a breeder) and he is a little shy of being picked up but as soon as you give him cheek rubs he’s your buddy

I always get so paranoid when introducing new mice. Most of the time things go smoothly when I do or I catch serious fighting quickly so there’s no injuries but I remember once I introduced a new male to a group as he’d been by himself and it seemed that no one was giving him real trouble then I woke up to squeaking so went to check on them and they had bitten half his tail off. I had to quickly remove him and make sure he would be okay then clean the cage of the group of mice as it was covered in blood all at one in the morning. He ended up being fine and healing well and was introduced to another group which he was accepted into fine but it was a scare because there was quite a bit of blood.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

He will be better off alone, just give him lots of love and attention and he will be happy. It is unusual for two male mice to get along so well. Most, even brothers, will eventually fight and try to kill each other. It would be dangerous to get him another male mouse companion. As to my enclosures, I make most things myself.

[@jonyoder2356]

Does anyone know if it's ok to introduce a hand raised mouse (possibly a deer mouse I named Fiesty) to 2 pet (fancy) mice that I bought from a pet shop? They are about the same size and a month apart in age. All 3 are females. I cant find any information on this. Fiesty is very aggressive towards the other 2 even in a neutral habitat. She bit both tails a few times enough to draw blood. How much of this fighting is ok and how long should I let it go until I pull her back out. Currently she is separated again until I get some answers. I dont want any of them to get hurt or traumatized. Thanks to all with suggestions.

[@CreekValleyCritters]

Fighting to establish pecking order is OK but once blood is drawn, it is becoming too serious and the mice need to be separated. A lot of people keep their pet deer mice with domesticated mice and it works out fine. But they are all individual personalities and some will be harder to integrate than others. You could continue to try every few weeks to see how they get along on neutral territory under strict supervision. Sometimes age and time will mellow the little anti-social one.

The antibiotic Baytril does wonders as does putting them in a more dust free environment with better ventilation, the reason I love open concept mouseries so much. Once though they become very old and/or have some other underlying health condition, it becomes much harder to treat and it is kindest to have them humanely euthanized once you realize the antibiotic is not working, before the suffering becomes too great.

You should never have two unrelated male mice live together, especially if they have not been neutered by a vet. Male mice are very territorial and will try to kill each other. This only works with females and neutered males. Just to give you a heads up before tragedy strikes.....
